Robin

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

-- C.S. Lewis

I didn’t know it was a thing either, now I wish I would have written down whether they are caused by inclusions of some type or crystal structure. They’re from a geologist collection who worked in Brazil in the mid eighties.

Are you going to make them into jewelry?

Maybe just thin one a little on a lap ? Patty

The thinner one can be raised in the cup with clear plastic- like credit card thick plastic. Shouldn't be noticeable in the final product. Those would make outstanding earrings.
