Just joshin’ ya bro! Good job on a tough stone! lol! I really like that material. I saw a probably 500 pound chunk at the club I'd love to mess with. Thank you! I could probably do better now with my vibe.

My God looking at that photo on the carpet made my eyes sore within seconds! You by accident have discovered a way to make people blind very quickly. It's kind of hilarious if you posted that not realizing how truly crazy that photo is.
That last photo of the very small piece on a finger is gorgeous. I too am very attracted to this material and have almost always had a few pieces in process for several years now. I'm about to start on a rather large piece that is about the size of a grapefruit, but a bit flattened instead of spherical. I would say that 10% or less of all the pieces I've ever tumbled have come out satisfactorily. So many have been kept going and going and going hoping to get past problem areas and it usually never happens. So I've turned many pieces of it that started out golf ball size to finished not much larger than thumbnail size!
What I plan on doing with this large piece is to use that method of soaking in a diluted transparent epoxy and going at it that way in the beginning and again each time new voids open up in rough grind. We will see what happens. This stuff sure is pretty.
