    Excellent, thanks!

    Yeah, the color in the picture is a tad off, the stone had some dust on it. It's similar in color to my Guanxi stone, but perhaps a little lighter (more gray) and then there's the translucency around the edges.

    Edit: Here's a quick cell-phone shot. The actual stone is slightly darker than shown here.

    Yea I found some history on the Hot Springs area, it looks like there were several quarries in the region. Here's an interesting link. Lists of Quarries & Quarry Links, Photographs and Articles
