Jordans Whitbed

Our current mine production of Jordans Whitbed is producing blocks which have a very similar visual appearance to the Jordans Whitbed Stone produced a few years ago, which was our top selling stone at that time. This now gives more choice and a pronounced difference between our Whitbed stones (Fancy Beach Whitbed, Grove Whitbed and Jordans Whitbed) when Basebed is deemed too clean.
