firestones
the basin/hearth was long ago and far away -in southern France. it
was a functional basin, for washing. I found it in a ruin I was
pillaging for stone to rebuild my own pillaged ruin (what goes around
keeps going around). don't know what sort of limestone it was, but it
was tight grained. grey. (and thoroughly dry) not carving grade
limestone, definitely not Indiana-type stuff.
the basalt we used for the sweat lodge was porous. vasicules, I
believe the voids are called, vugs is another name for them (I have
no geological training, but some words seem to stick like burrs).
your term lattice seems a good one to describe the structure, though
surely some of the voids are isolated?
the pun/typo comment was sent in error, it referred to something else.
