What a beautiful find. Were your hands shaking so much it was hard to carry the rock? A once in a lifetime for sure. Well yes ! Stop like 3 times going back to home to see it was real ! 🚀✨🍾

Might try a dental water pic, also I have had some luck with muriatic acid. take your time let it work. Polish? I would be happy with what it is, you may ruin it trying to polish it. Have start the process but it's slow ... when its finish will post some photos... now cleanning ... Fv

Totaly agree! Dont want to lose the bubble edges so have to be carefull maybe is a good idea to start with 500 ... What did you ever figure out that stick agate material you had was? Not yet ! Guess is a panama material maybe unique from our country ! Remember our geologie is really young comprare with other countries! There are so many things that can modify the final rock ! We were the last to emerge from sea and joint the americas ... guess the answer have to be around this ... all our rocks are look a like the ones of america but have been seen that always have an issue to ID because have something that is a mix or not quite like yours ... the only thing that I am really clear is that we love to collect rocks ! Lol ...

That really is a nice piece of agate. I would scrub it hard with soap and a serious scrub brush if the material is as sound as it appears. Then rinse with high pressure and more scrubbing to remove soap and then if you didn't need to remove any material for defects you sure could try the dremmel polishing technique but I would probably start with 500 and work up to polish. DIp the pad that you have on the dremmel into the grit slurry every once in a while. Totaly agree! Dont want to lose the bubble edges so have to be carefull maybe is a good idea to start with 500 ...
