Looks like you might have done this before once or twice. Curious if you run into issues commonly on the larger slabs similar to what I've encountered many times with new wood slabs as they dry out- splitting. Maybe this is not an issue because the replacement of the organic materials with the minerals occur over such a long period of time?
Anyways, glad this looks like it will be a successful save.

Naw, don't split like real wood does, but it can be brittle and will shatter pretty easy! Not my first rodeo for sure! |

It’s looking better already! Certainly a happier sight to see than that split slab.

I guess I'd want to repair it too seeing how it was already polished and all. Looks good as new.

That's definitely not one to pitch in the trash when it breaks...not like a cab! LOL

It seems to me that it will be really hard to see the break when that epoxy cures. Glad you could save it!
