Interesting. I don't think I've ever seen this in the hobby. Have u?

Now, the big question is, where the heck can we get this stuff!

there's a guy in TX that has some but it grows slow and he is always out. I'll let you know if I can get some. There's definitely not alot of info or people who know about it and it's super rare in the hobby.

But like me, and eventually tons of other folks, as soon as you see it it becomes a small obsession to get some.
