Unsure of quality due to non-uniformity
of appearance, a mixture of colours and what appears to be types
of rock. Microfine products reported acceptable but some report
that particulate products have reputation for being brittle
and dusty causing problems if used in filtration applications.
Requested and awaiting verification of hardness. |
