    Jim, I believe you are correct about the spelling and content.  I
    purchased a fairly large amount of this material from a gentleman at
    a show in MD a number of years ago...he had 6 or 8 55 gal drums of
    the stuff.  I have cut a couple of stones over the years and used it
    as inlay (it is good inlay material). It is indeed about a 5.5 or 6
    in hardness I believe and fairly pourous but it polishes nicely. 
    Still have several lbs of it laying around somewhere. 

    Cheers from Don at The Charles Belle Studio in SOFL where simple
    elegance IS fine jewelry! dcdietz AT comcast.net
