Not the deep purple and greens that I like, but this one had a very interesting fracture plane that had orange flecks. Took extra special care this time and worked each disk with a feather touch and didn't move on until I used up 1/2 a gallon of water of drip per disk. Not exactly sure how long it took me, but between chores, I spent a good portion of the day on this. This is pretty much it for the fluorite I had, hope you like it! ![](http://i671.photobucket.com/albums/vv74/kgniot0709/P1030402rth.jpg) Sunshine pic: ![](http://i671.photobucket.com/albums/vv74/kgniot0709/P1030400rth.jpg) It's not as pretty as my "Screw Up" but at least it didn't break...YAY!!! ~Krystee

That piece is great also. Looks like a piece of ice only it will never melt. Glue that other piece together you have notbhing to loose. Stu

Stu... I don't think glueing will work. It fractured in two places plus face fractured. If I did try to salvage it then it would be all glue. Instead it is going into the filler box for tumbles.... It's ok though, I'm not sad anymore. My big thing was not being defeated by this stone. This one worked, so I'm satisfied. Gary...I am totally out of wire right now. 4 kids, back to school shopping, UGH! My cab box is filling up fast... darn it! But.... it's in the box of "Things To Finsih", so someday it will get wrapped ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Krystee, redemption indeed, you showed that fluorite who is in charge on this one. Great cab and persistence. 4 school age kids, rocks have to be therapeutic.
