Individual I acquired from Don Emanuel-Smith in 2008 and I'd like to describe it with Don's words:

Millbillillie 51.2 grams with crusting on all faces, radiated flowlines, defined edges, roll over lips. It is remarkably not so stained as others and beautifully oriented, has sharp fusion crust points sticking up from the trailing end.
