Nakayama Asagi Fissure

This piece of Nakayama Asagi is about 3.0 x 4.0” and it’s a good barber-hone size finisher or touch up stone. But - it has a thin white line showing on the top that looks like the Grand Canyon here but it can’t be felt when honing.

Objective – Neo Splan 5x

Relay lens – 3.3x

Illumination – Reflected Darkfield Off-Axis Fiber-Optic 

Naka 5x FO 1

In the image below, you can see the line as it looks to the unaided eye.
