Yeah, not a great picture - it glows a little too much in the compact flourescent light.
Just tested it to be sure - definitely quartz. Didn't bubble, and is so hard it was VERY difficult to even scratch with a nail...
Forgot to mention that I'm building a really great rapport with the LFS I found up in Skokie. They know me by name, and the guy felt bad because the Stealth heater I bought was missing a suction cup - so when I bought replacements, he ended up giving me all the Hygro for free.
And, I like them because they have zebra loaches and fancy plecs...
Also, Happy Birthday to me
