    Default Australia's New Hone Material!?!

    So I read this and get a bit excited! Why? Because I am a geology lepor, but a hone... Uh, want-to-be manufacturer!

    Don't tell me those two quality's don't mix. I know!

    Sure its a bit soft, but it's fine! What says you?

    My favourite was domerockite named after where it was found, Dome Rock. Creative naming huh ?

    also, 0.5 mm seems a bit large for the gritsize in the hone :P

    still nice to read that not only some rock deposits are undiscovered but even mineral types remain to be found
