[Nfb-krafters-korner] a request for information

[River Woman]

You want to be sure it is actual stone - and you have to really search it 
out - you do not want the manmade stuff, as it does not stay nice, it 
actually rusts and gets nasty. The real thing is quite HEAVY, and you can 
soak it in water with no problem because it is stone.
