The burnt brick

Another brick of Michel on a visit to be pictured: Pat. pend, handcrafted L (or E) and 2 on the opposite side

This one is really interesting - the result of a conversation with MAGICBRICKS:

Cracked / burnt material. Formed by thermal decomposition.

This is particularly common in white shades, as titanium dioxide is often used as a coloring agent there.

Cracked material is burnt, superheated material. Titanium dioxide in the right concentration can even act like an acid and the plasticizing screw can be eaten away.
