Thread: I Found It Over There

I just hot a bunch of rock from my usual place. About a third of it was full of tiny little factor lines. It is not good for hones. It will make some decent garden rock. There is a lot of grading that takes place as well. Not every slab that gets cut gets to be a hone. Between crack and inclusions it brings the numbers down pretty fast.

Amen, and it sadly takes tons of work before you can tell if its good for hones even...then nearly finished before all the micro fractures show themselves
