[edit] Question
Sixteenth-century "porphyry" in Poland and the Czech Republic, mentioned here, is something else: is it red granite? --Wetman 05:10, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
Is the "Bruton and Wilkinson" correct? I find a number of mentions on the web of "Burton and Wilkinson" in reference to porphyry, but only find "Bruton" on pages reproducing this wikipedia article. I am changing the "Bruton" to "Burton" for the time being, as I assume it refers to the same incident cited in Manufacturer and builder / Volume 20, Issue 1, January 1888 which attributes it in words similar to this article (including the date), but gives the name as "Burton".
