Why not, I suppose some people might not like chocolate...

Seriously, though, I could use some advice on this.
First time I've worked with Cotton Candy Agate.
In the upper right 1/4 of this one there are really small pits- and I either leave it as is and polish it or cut that entire piece off.
Any ideas?

But it’s still neat in my opinion.

I'm not much help here, but I feel your pain. The perfectionist in me goes crazy over the flaws that are inherent in some material and I end up pondering the same question. I agree, polish it up as-is and let it go

OK, this one and then I'm done for real this time...
