Hey, I recognize those ones!  Those are beach collected stones and even though they are mostly shaped already you still have to run them for a while in coarse grit to grind of the outer layer to get to the good stuff that hasn't been salt corroded. From cutting slabbets of the larger dallasites I have noticed the corroded outer layer is usually 1/16"-1/8" thick. |

Very pretty. I have never heard of Dallasite. That is really nice and looks like you captured a small druzy pocket in the unknown. That one is outstanding and my favorite.
