Well, I've seen a lot of art and some of it isn't worth the cost of the material it's painted on!
BUT, I agree that the right natural can be outstanding in quality, the trick is to find the right one. I love my Belgian stones but I'm quickly developing an admiration for my new Shaptons who's development was no doubt fostered by the dwindling supply of quality natural stones.
As I re-evaluate the hones I have, I'm very much considering picking up a Japanese Natural stone providing I get some guidance as to what to pick.
