Those that repeat crazy notions from the past, are bound to repeat them in the future.

Only a backwards thinking person would allow tradition to stagnate a forewards thinking ideal...

If Walter Pall only cared about tradition, his collection would be crap. Allowing expansion of thought allows creativity to bring forth beauty.

Be wary of everything you read.... Sometimes you have to read between the lines. Why even bring up white sand in a book if it had not been used in times past. Probably was just used wrong. There is a time and place for everything, and white could be usefull in many ways.

BTW, just suppose the stone is very dark green or black. Just what color would be appropriate, and why? Why would white not be? Al
