I procured this lovely stone from our own AlxGilmore. It is exceptional. Very fine grain, fast and a perfect size. I have only briefly tested it, but it feels wonderful, and shows much promise.

Nice!
Kinda has a woodgrain pattern, it seems.
Of course there's probably a real Japanese term for that, but that's beyond my scope of comprehension.

Lovely warm yellow. How are the shaves?
Beautiful stone! Ive been wanting a Kiita for some time now....from what everyone is saying they Are really good stones. Congrats!
Nice Kan (rings) on that stone. I'd like to see a picture of it with better colour, your white balance looks off a bit. End of the day GREAT looking stone (where are the side/bottom pictures)?
Real nice looking stone. Congrats!
Sweet rock! 
Alex knows his stones, but looking at that stone on my laptop now it looks more Asagi than Kita to me.
But - it's hard to tell by a photo sometimes.
I think the pattern is Mokume - or partially Kan and Mokume. I feel it's Mokume but feelings aren't facts.
Regardless of the names of the pattern and color - it's a pretty stone for sure.

It does have a very similar colour to the Ozuko that I have that thought was originally Kiita but you called asagi.
That's a gorgeous stone. Feels like I'm staring into the JNAT twilight zone!
Gorgeous stone, Jon!! Congrats!! Love the Kan pattern!!
