Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Well quarried like the translucent stone, but this one had a cavity about the size of a pea in the middle of one of the sides. Obviously the reason for being rated 'irregular', but this make half of that side unusable, and could limit useful life of the stone significantly in addition to restricting use to one side of the stone.
