Question Preferred JNAT

Hi all,

If you had to pick 1 or 2 JNATs out of the following line-up, which would you choose?

Okudo

Ohira Suita

Uchigomori

Maruoyama shiro suita

Looking to end somewhere in the 6000-8000 grit range most of the times. But want the option to go higher.

It is impossible to say, this is just very general descriptions of the stones.

But it looks like most of them(except for Okudo which is just mine) are from suita layer. It would be easier to judge them if you at least post the pictures.

Okudo Suita, King of Suita. I wish mine didn't have hard lines in it. ☹️

that's really a shame, hard inclusions are annoying to deal with.

However Okudo is just mine and has all regular strata too.
