According to Tammens who calls it 'foam bubbles' .
Its qualities are positive ; it is considered rare but it is not select and can be owned by anyone .

I await correction .
Hi Dave, I see you posted while I was doing the same .
Here is Pamor Eksotik's illustration of Lar Gangsir (not too helpful)
Rick, yours is pamor Untuk Banyu.
(Ref: Ensiklopedi Keris, Reference section, Pg:554).

Most of the twisted core are pamor Lar Gangsir. This pamor type have a few variations.
