Unknown JNAT - Please help ID

I am interested in this NOS Jnat. The seller says that it appears to be very hard. Can anyone ID this stone? I would greatly appreciate it. It is listed for $180.

Google: 正本山鳴瀧合砥

Not sure if the translation is right: Masamotoyama Narutaki Natural whetstone

should be ~60USD.
 
It's sort of a generic label put on stones that allegedly were sourced in the Narutaki 'region'. Generic in the sense that it's not unlike the labels seen on common Aoto. It doesn't really ID the stone. Imanishi currently uses a label along the same premise but his is 2 color.
