>Was just prowling about e-bay and found what is apparently a lily white washita stone, but it's black! Can that be right? Thought Lily Whites where, well, White. Can anybody expound on this?

>How are them stones you were thinking about selling working out? Did you ever find a tester? Todd I bet you can buy a new one from Joel as cheap as the one on e-bay.

>Could be, but I'll bet it was soak in oil to "fill it up". You decide.

I'm not really in the market for another stone, just was prowling around and stumbled into this one is all. Thought it curious that it was black and not white.
