Akadama

With the demise of  "Double red band" brand, Akadama supplies have been sparse for the last few months, relying on suppliers stored stock.
There is now a new brand available and I have bought a small supply to test over the winter months.  It looks and feels identical to the old double red band akadama, although the individual grains feel slightly softer when pinches between your fingers.  I'll take some pics today and will keep updating over the next few months.
