I guess I should explain. They did turn out crack free. The super glue stayed in fine in most spots. It just did not shine up everywhere. When you use it when cabbing it gets nice and glassy, and makes the fractures/pits pretty much go away. On tumbling it worked pretty well for small fractures, not so well for pits. These first 2 pics show filled pits. They stayed filled so no more pit but no shine on the patch either.   This one I circled the filled pit (no shine). On this in the druzy looking area around the pit there were a ton of small fractures. They did shine up.  So I guess the result is: Pits - filled no shine fractures big - filled no shine fractures small - filled and good shine |

I think I could buff the areas Jack but have not tried yet.
We had about 3ft of snow but lost some lately CUL-Ann. It was about +4C today. Almost had to put on shorts.

Cool batch; that last one looks almost like a tiny little tree piece embedded in amber.
