blackpearl soapstone
Quoted text begins.It is actually a dark gray until polished and treated with some kind of
wax or poppy oil (I use beeswax driven into the stone with a propane
torch), at which point it becomes a very nice black.

End of quote.
Thanks Bill - that is exactly what I did, but am very curious how that
finish will hold up outside? (Especially at in Canada) Any idea how long?
I will certainly go straight to the quarry next time - you'd probably gag at
how much I paid for that piece!!
