I hadn't heard anything about it, but I did some looking after reading your post. Rich Ihle has been working with them. There's a youtube video posted a few months ago showing a guy receiving a male and female scoria. I believe he was in Canada. In the video he says it is an incompletely dominant trait, though I can't say how accurate that is. The link for the video is here:

That's all I've been able to find. I suppose if you're after more information, I'd recommend sending a message to Rich Ihle via his site.
I hope that was helpful. Good luck!
