This rock is extremely useful for conducting heat. It lined the upper layers of this kiln and covered orange bricky material. Although we are assuming this is volcanic rock, it has not been determind by professionals to be so and may just be lining whose composition has been changed by the intense temperatures of the kiln. Kiln waste can be seen as part of the rock. [Input: N814MS.j]
