The mailman forgot to bring my saw blade yesterday and I polished all my pre cuts, so I grabbed a broken piece and put her on the grinder. I came up with this. Thanks for looking.

Can anybody tell me what it is? Some kind of agate I presume.

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.

I though it looked like the sun coming out of the clouds too. Sure is nice whatever it is. You've really got it bad when you are going through scraps looking for shapes, but I've been there too. I feel for ya. Hope your saw blade comes soon.
