And Mother Earth smiled and welcomed me into her family. And I played with all the children in joy and peace forever as we all tumbled about.

very batch for sure. Have you ever tried stablizing a cab when it holds such a visable facture like in your last one? I find if the agate is nice like that, and the fracture tight enough with no void to fill. I will attempt sealing the fracture, even if its just to hide it and not stablize it. NIce plume too. Thanks for sharing.
