Thanks everyone. I really didn't have any problems working the Bumblebee. It held together pretty well. That was very surprising considering how the slab seemed. The slab seemed crumbly and it was sometimes difficult to hold the shape. It does have pits though. The round one is going to my daughter as a necklace because it has a severe pit on the underside and I don't want to try to sell it and have it break on someone. The first Bumblebee is for my wife. She likes it the best of all of them. I think it is more of an onyx than agate or jasper which it has been called.

I have some bumblee that is very soft and smells of sulfer.
