Thanks! Of course now I can see scratches in there...sigh. All good - I love the piece and it shall stay as it is.
The nice thing is, it's not going anywhere! You can leave it "as is"...which I think it looks great...or you can do another face polish...like when you're bored and have absolutely nothing else to do! LOL

So I decided to cut off a section to make the rock more rectangle and will tumble the cut off piece - then I used my trim saw and slant cabber to trim and polish the two edges. I can't love this piece enough. I'm very happy with the natural piece and how the polished edges turned out. I went up to 40,000 diamond paste - I can tell where I missed the end section, but all in all I'm quite happy with how these turned out. Sorry for the blurriness - had to cut it down to 20 seconds for it to upload.
I think you made the right decision - it looks great!!!
