My new composition book, in which I write my blog posts, was an impulse buy at Target. When I picked it up, it felt different -- heavier, softer, more flexible. I looked at the label and it read:
Stone Papers
Made from stone
tree-free, acid-free, natural paper products made from all natural stone
Cool! I looked for them online, but their website was under construction when I visited it. I did find another, similar (I think) product that outlines the process (I'm assuming it's a similar process. It may not be.) pretty well.
I admit, I'm using my favorite pen, but the ink is received by the paper very smoothly, and I love how it feels!
I'm not sure if every Target has this product (online they do not) but it's worth checking out.

I know exactly what you mean; those are NICE papers, aren't they? I picked up a sample pack of stone papers from the HOW design conference last year -- Yummy!
A quick Googling found this discussion about so-called stone papers. FWIW.

Interesting. 99% of that discussion was about the "green-ness" of it (which I'm afraid I'm so jaded I completely discounted as probable BS). The big draw for me was the sensory difference, and one of the commenters had the exact opposite reaction. S/he was repelled by the weight of it.
Just goes to show how subjective sensory information is.
err... discounted any marketed green-ness of it as BS, to clarify.
