Thank you for the clarification. Extra hard granite with sporadic impurities. I can’t imagine hand grinding a vase out of that. In my pampered modern existence it seems almost sadistic.

Now imagine building an entire “city” (Puma Punku) out of it by hand... complete with precise channel cuts forming an interlocking complex of blocks both solid and with excavated designs for purposes as yet unknown.
