Looks like a success. Mel, Sabre52 , was right on the mark. I hope that they realize how much worry and effort you put into ole Lumpy.. Also how many people saw and will see him for posterity.. Good job Sis

Just a hint as I've cut a lot of that type geode. A good many are just solid quartz balls or have small hollow centers. The best ones often have a few loose crystals rattling around so that is a good indicator for a hollow, as is weight if you have a quartz cobble of similar size for comparison. Some folks also roll them gently across the cement floor of their garage. The hollows are supposed to kind of sound that way while the solids just sound like any other rough rock. The rolling thing did not work for me as Warsaws don't roll that well but the rattling thing was great. Question for the fossil guys. I've noticed a lot of Warsaws have an organic look to them . A guy told me a lot of them are actually fossil crinoid heads. True? ....Mel I cut some lightning stone septarians last night. Even found the shell fossil that started the whole thing!
