Pat. I don’t have it in my hand yet. It looks like it has a rough spot but I can repair that. No cracks that I can see. I’m pretty tickled to have found it. Thanks for looking.

They are both beautiful. Can see why you wanted them.

I've been buying those for the past 2 years. At first I thought I'd cut them and make cabs, but the colors don't reach past about 2-3mm. They're heat treated. Someone said they probably use iron in an acid solution in the process. Lynn

Wow! Those are some beauties. Nice job. I love opaque rocks with banding and patterns. I'll never self-find anything like that in my lifetime very likely. Thanks for sharing!
