I have been thinking about that very thing, I got to find the piece taht it came off of and maybe take another slab off and bleach it. Indecision is the key to flexibility! It is pretty brown now tho!

I have one similar to this with the white crust on the exterior. I have a hope that if I soak it in muriatic acid it might remove the nasty crust and expose a bubbly chalcedony agate layer.

Just curious, does bleaching effect the polish? Will it dull the finish or anything like that that would require more polishing?

I don't think it affects the polish at all, but some people bleach just before the polishing. Haven't tried that yet.

you may etch the bubbly chalcedony also, slow steps!
