That's a good one. What is Carrara glass. I think I have some that look's just like that.

Outbackbob48:
Eddie, Carrara glass was used on old store fronts or old time ice cream parlors. The old white glass counters where you could get a real cherry coke, Your probably to young to remeber them. It is just glass tile, some has a rough back for the glue to adhere too. About 3/8" thick. I'll see if Hickory Bill will bring a few to the classic. Sure as heck is better to knap than some old toilet tank >:( I hate thunder chert.   :D Bob

Zuma:
Nice points Bob,
Here is some tile porcelain from the Trade Towers in lower Manhattan.
Dredged up and transported to NJ for fill.
About 3/4 inch stuff.
