Nice job. LSA are just like that some times. I would have been Soo excited with that nodule as it looks amazing. So bummed with all the cracks and quartz, but even a less than stellar LSA is a great LSA!

Most of the LSA's I have found have a crack or two. Must be because they rode South under a Glacier for hundreds of miles .
I hate to think what my fat little body would look like if a million tons of ice, or , maybe more , ground over the top of me !
I always thought about making a vacuum chamber and putting my cracked material in there submerged in water glass, should draw out the air and the water glass would suck down into the crack when you dropped the pressure .
Anyone ever tried that ?

I see a lot going on. It's a stone worth a careful second glance. Be brave abd go forth.

Great looking cab — I really like high-domed cabs.

It's beautiful even with a cracks! Those LSA's make for fun before and after photos. I never would have guessed that was the same rock.

Great looking shine on that bad boy!  I'll echo the surprise from the before and after looks...pretty amazing transformation. |
