Exceeded expectations
The attention to detail in the carving is impressive. It serves dual purposes well—great for ink and equally stunning as a decorative water feature in my tea corner.

Perfect weight and texture for daily practice
The stone feels substantial in the hand and grinds ink smoothly without being too abrasive. It looks beautiful on my desk even when not in use.
