^^ thanks.

i can get small flakes/points from it, so i may save it for when i'm really rock poor.

JoJoDapyro:
I'm always rock poor, so I would already have it destroyed.  ;D

   Those cracks are from water and freezing some where through time.

It's a variant of Edwards.   It should take heat very well.
