Quarries and cosmetics

Okay, you typically don't think of the rough and tumble quarry environment and the world of cosmetics in the same thought, but sometimes the two collide. Take the case of Basalt Works, a mineral scrub for women. The product gets its main ingredient from a basalt quarry in Oregon. In fact, they sent me sample. (I get stuff like this in the mail every now and again. I am reminded of Gravel: A Cologne for Men, which I received a few years ago. It smells like diesel fuel.) Anyway, quarry operators all over the country take note: your products may be good for more than just concrete, asphalt and road base. Your comment?
