I stopped using it because of the grainy texture. Switched to the "Jade White"...
My pieces have been better from a production standpoint, as as a monetary value.
Just my take.

┌П┐(◉_◉)┌П┐
last summer i could not find any of the regular old style china white to save my life, but i did find it in 15mm rods (mountain glass). so i bought two 4' rods of it, and just pull it down to whatever size i need before using it.
the striking/magic white just isn't quite as opaque as the old stuff is. it does seem to be perfectly safe under encasement though.
You shouldn't be having sex for pleasure, only for reproduction.
Thousands of people read my threads now. So I’m trying to not embarrass myself.
I saw the Opaque china white on the way out and grabbed 10lb's of 7mm rod. I have some of the striking white but have not tried it yet. I don't like the jade white, but star and sno white are fine replacements. I got a couple pounds of an unknown white recently that was super boily so I tend to sleeve it with 8mmx 1mm tube, you can barely tell it has a clear coat it's so thin.

your linework is naive maybe try some fuming?

No, I am right and you are not. I said sounds like, not: is exactly the same, indistinguishable in any way.
And yes, a mushroom high and an acid high are like each other, much more than say a glue sniffing high and a weed high. ( i don't sniff glue).
Mushrooms make me confused, and want to take a nap.
No confusion from h.m.k. , he quoted the china white comment that reminded him of gun mounts.
What two whites were you talking about mute? (jade vs. China?)
i thought it was china white vs gunmount.
just goofing around about the fact that they are different opaque vs semi transparent
see i new you'd try and sell me that pitch...

I like the jade white.
The new “striking white” (the grainy one) is trash. It Cracks after coming out of the kiln looking fine.

I tested it - Liked the workability, liked the color, and the piece came out fine.
Was about to order a case of it, when my wife sent me a video of it cracking on the table as she watched. (Piece was 2 - 3 weeks old. New opaque white sandwiched between clear)
wow! that's wild that she was actually able to get video of it happening!
hehe I encased some of the old white one time...... it exploded violently several days later. Part of it was on a rig that had been annealed and sold, the other half was just extra that got bench cooled, but they both blew up roughly a week after being made. The non excased white gave me no problems though.
