Thanks Orrum... I think...  Spectrolite is a feldspar like labradorite. It's pretty soft. I didn't cab this. I use to get all my specs from the same guy. He cut this one. This one is fairly thin. |

Spectrolite has a hardness of 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale and a specific gravity of 2.69 - 2.72 yet because it crumbles easily, it seems to be softer than that. Stone looks great Tela, and you know that I adore unusual things, so; your wrap complements the stone fantastically. |

And a great house it is! Good idea for those rectangular beauties--great wrap, as usual.
