I don't get it, but it is very difficult to find any of the cracks that were so evident before in the SJ stone.
Hmmm... Could be the cracks were filled with the slurry created during the truing process. Then, as the stone dried, the slurry in the cracks melded with the rest of the stone. Sort of like the familiar caking process seen in so many granular materials.
The soil here is a mixture of clay and sand. When dry it can be ground up and sifted to create a powder, let it get wet and it will cake together when it dries out and form a clump.
