The beveled edge and overall shape show off the patterns in the stone so well.

I can't tell for sure, but the top doesn't look domed at all. If it's not, what was your process for finishing out the flat top?

Domes ok, too. Matte and shiny also good.

"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."

The finish on that flat really is something, I always have trouble with getting into the middle on the higher grits.
How do you make this shape, anyway? Looks like the arcs almost match up with the points of the trillium, so you'ld need a stop to rest the stone on, right?
