- Red, slightly coarse, somewhat hard fabric with granular to conchoidal break; surface fired to slightly more orange hue; frequent, tiny to small, rounded, clustering, subrounded and subangular, black stoney particles mixed with rare, tiny, red and rarely white bits; infrequent, small, round voids. Inclusions frequent at surface, which has slightly bumpy texture.
