Nubatama 1k Ume speckled and Latte 400 similarities?

Post by Dopamine »

Hi everyone,

I was looking at a finer version of my latte 400. This is my favourite feeling stone, so a I would love a 1k version of it.

I saw that the Nubatama 1k Ume speckled has the exact same pattern. Since this is a rare pattern, I was wondering if they were from the same family of stones or of a very similar character?

I know Ken is sadly no longer with us, and his knowledge is lost.

I was just wondering if anyone who has tried both could perhaps offer any insight?

Thank you,
