Fellow Blasters-
My old aluminum oxide was becoming just a little too smooth around the edges to 
do any actual effective harm to the rusty pieces going in the cabinet. Sooo, I 
order up some new "virgin aluminum oxide". The bag I received had a name like 
"Aldular" or some such name that sorta implied that it might be aluminum oxide 
of some type. When I poured it in the cabinet I noted that it is BLACK. Not 
white, off-white, grey or even light black, but very black. For various and 
sundry reasons (mostly my own health)I don't want to use anything else, Esp 
silica of some sort. Has anyone ever seen (or even heard of)black virgin 
aluminum oxide?
If not, what do I have here?

Blast...
