Hi Dom,
Thanks for your help.
So Johar is a generic term for all 'wootz'?
Does this pattern have a specific name or meaning? Does it represent water, or is it just random?

Djohar should (?) means "a high quality" in Farsi
but my translator, told me it's come from the arabic word "ga'howara"
meaning; "precious" like precious stone, diamond ... we reach the Farsi meaning
