Venusian agates are pretty rare I'd think...
They are beautiful.

They are so beautiful! The polishing worked out amazingly. The backlit pictures are so intriguing.

The morning after 13 hours run time Imust have added too much water. Glass is funny, if the slurry gets too wet and thin it can get damaged in a jiffy.
