Nick,
I'm not expert, nor can I say for sure what you have. However, I have heard
and seen BLACK blasting media. I've heard of something called black blast, or
star blast. My understanding is that these are Black in color, and I thing
they are both ALOX.
I know the stuff in my dad's cabinet is black and is supposedly ALOX.
Hope this helps,
John
