Very nice Bob! Brazilian agate is one of the few nice (has color, pattern & contrast) agates where you could get a fracture-free cab that big. Thanks for posting. It does kinda look like a Christmas tree ornament, as quartzilla implied.

Awesome piece, Bob!

"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

Is the top part thick enough to have a hole drilled in it for a built-in bail?

Love the four orbs! They look like water pockets. Is that natural to the stone?

I made the tab on top so that it can be drilled from right to left so a wire can be used to make a necklace.
