Howdy folks, Well, after umpteen tries, I finally finished that last Wingate Plume. Also finished a 30 X 40 Turritella cab. One of the chambers of the shell proved to be a little crystal lined geode. I'm thinking of just leaving it as is but I could fill it with the old Hotstuff or super glue. What do you all think I should do?Thanks for looking....Mel

They both look great, Mel. I would leave the hole as is, but I don't cab so...

I'd leave it as it is, too, especially if material was not carried out from the tiny geode to ruin the polish around it. Both of them are so beautiful but the turritella is fantastic!

By all means, I'd leave the hole - it invites one to peek inside!
The Wingate is really pretty also. I like both of them, but of course, I REALLY like turritella!

Great cabs Mel! I have to agree with everyone else. Leave the little vug in the Turrritella as is. It seems to add to it instead of detracting and the fossil pattern in it are great! Fran

First off, boy you have some nice material & do great work. As far as what do I think about what you should do? Leave it. it is like another amazing discovery in such a beautiful cab; a crystal lined geode, awesome!
