Right?!! It’s an agatized variant if that makes sense. Can’t wait to cut some cabs from it.

That is really cool. I’m guessing that is the tree rings that are visible in the brecciated areas. The formation reminds me of Howardite. Something I’ve been wanting to work but haven’t yet. Hope to see some cabs highlighting these areas:

khara Sycamore is like oak in that it has rings and rays, the rays are a lot more visible and go from center to the bark like wheel spokes, the rings are fairly faint and at right angles to the rays.
