It may sound a bit weird but it seems for me that stones out of different quarries smells different.
I only own 9 Jnats which are not all bought by reputable sellers where you can trust the origin of the mine but I noticed some similarities and differences among them and I am curious if you guys have similar patterns. I am doing probably a poor job in describing the nuances of the smell but I would say that my stones which are sold as Ozukus, have a more earthy smell which can tingle a bit and fall off in midbetween. On the other hand those stones which are sold to me as Nakayamas have a more fresh and a slight flowery smell. Their intensity varies from stone to stone and from 5 stones which are sold to me as Nakayamas are 2 where I would have a harder time telling you if it has this certain smell but nevertheless the intensest do smell different than the Ozukus (which are bought on JNS). I own one stone which was sold to me as a Narutaki (It is wet very reddish.) Which has a crazy intensive smell which is kinda fresh, sweet and a bit synthetic. All of my stones are not sealed except one Nakayama. The Narutaki was once sealed but the sealing got lapped of and only a tiny bit is left in a side hole. I think I will do a blind test where someone helps me in the future to empirical find out if I just lost my mind or these differences are real. I am curious about your answers.
