Can anyone identify this baby blue Japanese synthetic stone?

I thought for years that I had the Naniwa 10K Super Stone. I've shaved with it. But when I decided to obtain the 12K, and it arrived, it became really clear that that's not what I have. The color isn't even right for a 10K Super Stone. So, what do I have here?

I bought it around 30 years ago.

It's baby blue in color, but on the greenish side of that.

I am pretty sure it's a 10K, somewhat less sure that it's a Naniwa, and I've been using it as a soaker. I'm not sure whether that's because I correctly remember that it is one.

It's the same length and width as a modern Super Stone, but the thickness is 30mm. The modern Super Stone I got is 20mm thick.
