Anyone ever used the synthetic Blue Aoto?

I've always been interested in this muddy 3k grit stone and Zvi's review peaked my interest further:

It's made from the powder of the natural stone, so it doesn't have those inclusions.

Looks interesting. Do they make them for the Edge-Pro?

Actually, yes. If you contact ken123, he cuts this and other stones (Shaptons, Choseras) to fit the EP.

Hehe I think it would be too muddy and soft for the EdgePro, but it should work.
