Ok the point is not what is cool but look at this stone. 24hours at 600 and almost pure white just a hint  of orange and it has a strong platform to boot but cuts a flake like butter. Only found 100 pounds. I have been looking hard to find more deposits. On a scale of 1 to 10 it is off the chart. Wow wish i had a couple thousand pounds of this stuff.
