    hawaiian base rock

    thanks, i did give it a quick rinse, but there was still some residue in some of the more poreous regions. So i think i split the difference. I'm very happy with my order. I got 4 or 5 really nice pieces and a few smaller ones. Overall great stuff, crappy packing job though. thanks matt
