Chalk Cartel

Anybody use this stuff yet?

It's all I use now. It is, in my opinion, fantastic chalk. They've put a lot of work into making a very good product. Just wish they would pull the corporate mumbo-jumbo text off the packaging

For now, it's only available in the guerrilla grind, which is a decent balance between powder and chunks. I'm told there will be other options in the future though

Oh, and it's made right here in New Mexico instead of somewhere offshore

Yep. I got a kilo brick and it's great stuff. Far superior to most brands out there and equal to the much more expensive stuff.

i really need to get in on the business of putting fancy packaging on chalk.

Update after using it for a 2 weeks:

In terms of texture, it's a bit rough for my taste.

In terms of keeping your hands dry, it's the best chalk I've used to date. I used to use friction labs (when I was young and foolish enough to spend the money) and have been using black diamond white gold currently, and this is without a doubt better than either in keeping my sweaty mitts dry.

Chalk isn't made, it's mined. Probably in China

The magnesium is mined. So is Carbonate. Both commonly mined in America. But Chalk Is MgCO3, so there has to be production past mining.

Hm, I guess I'll have to try it again. I got loads as a freebie from a conference but don't recall being very impressed. I could have been skewed because the stupid paper bag exploded easily in my pack. It's just been sitting in my closet ever since. 

Anybody have thoughts on this chalk?

No, nowhere in the several above posts did a single person voice their opinion on the matter.

I'm LOL at your grasp of simple chemistry.

Please don't ever try to increase your dietary intake of calcium, sodium or several other trace nutrients.

Sodium pills are the hottest ticket in nutrition!

Am I wrong I thinking MgCO3 is an inorganic salt that requires mining? I understand it can be lab produced, but often mining is cheaper than lab production. I hardly even have a simple grasp on chemistry anymore...
