It is almost hard to believe that stuff is real. Those are healed fractures then? Wow. Awesome!

It is almost hard to believe that stuff is real. Those are healed fractures then? Wow. Awesome! The healed fractures run across and thru eyes. The lines that skirt eyes in a hexagonal pattern are likely healed gaps that accompanied the formation of the rock. I think the eyes existed 1st and then got pressed (or simply grew) together. In some material like rainforest jasper or leopardskin jasper or Al's Canyon Jasper, the eyes are small thundereggs that got pressed together and cemented. Here I do not think these are t-eggs, so I suspect the eyes/cells grew together, each pressing on its neighbor. At any rate. the lines are very well healed.
