The point is, if the seller has no stones that fit in the soft or Washita categories by density or S.G. it would be nice to know about it as why bother trying to purchase one from them if they don't have any in that range of density? So basically due to your post, I will avoid ALL the vendors who sell any Arks advertised as Washita or soft rather than have to go through the trouble of buying something that isn't to spec and getting stuck with return shipping costs. I'd prefer to get a vintage Pike lily white from eBay if the vendor or vendors can't be trusted.
