That's really nice!
I wouldn't cut it either. Polish it and put it on a stand.

Wow, polish it til it shines then display it. Would have loved to see the rock that came from. Some rocks just weren't meant for cabbing imho.

That looks so much like a butterfly wing. I agree polish it up. Its only too bad you don't have another slab. You could make a awsome butterfly.

Mel's right, that just HAS to be the petrified wing from a Purple Swallowtail.
I wouldn't cut it either !

Looks like a beautiful specimen for the display case! The butterfly wing jumped out at me too. I'd polish it and proudly display it.
