Somewhat fine, hard fabric; slightly granular break; slightly sandy surface texture. Various inclusions, poorly sorted: Uncommon, small, lime inclusions; few tiny sparkles to small flakes of golden mica; rare, small, angular, bluish gray bits; rare, subrounded, black bits; very rare, subangular red bits (iron oxide); rare, isolated, small, rounded voids at surface. Prominent brush marks across surface.
