What the heck is "a Norton seeded gel wheel"?

Ed,
The seeded gel ceramic wheels are something introduced by Norton Company around 1990, and have been steadily growing in popularity. They cut so much faster than standard vitrified grinding wheels that they're in a different league. You have to push harder than normal to see the benefit (they generally cost two to three times a regular wheel) but when you do you're greeted by cool cutting and low wheel erosion.
This is what they look like:
