Absolutely gorgeous!

Robin

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

-- C.S. Lewis

Great treasure find indeed!

Yeah I agree. Wingate, though beautiful, often has real issues with soft, pitted or porous areas, especially in the yellow zones. Lots of voids in the agate too. I cheat on the cabs by sometimes using super glue or some other filler. Works pretty well but way too much work.

I don't keep many specimens, but THAT would certainly be on my list of things not to cut. Well done!
