Someone said one time that cutting that stuff is very hazardous. Some sort of toxic something ends up in the mist.

Next show is in Rickreall,Oregon this month,I might check it out to see if that dealer is there....(Its not cheap)... yeah I know. But if you can find another like the one in the pics, I want it. (after you, of course). I bought a chunk off ebay last year and it turned out to be nowhere near what the pics showed. Wasn't cheap then either. Maybe you can PM me the dealers url and phone and I can call and ask for some pics, etc? Thanks!

The outside looks so plain compared to the treat within! make sure you wear your safety equipment when you work it.

Gorgeous slabs! From what I have heard this material is completely mined out and was only found in one location in indonisia as an accident mining for sulfur! Pricey stuff!!
