I got it from a sand and gravel place. Try a welders supply shop. All I know 
about it is that its shiny black. Looks like very fine valcanic glass. Edges 
are sharp and it does not crush easily.
Man it cuts into rust fast. 2-3 seconds and the spot is gone to bare metal.
Wear a face sheils AND a mask, the stuff flies!
