Was making a few Xmas gifts out of some cabs by putting the final touches on them, cutting the groove for wire wrapping. Plenty of time sunk in to these and then dropped it on the cement floor while turning the light off. Dangit.

Oh man, that stinks! I've done it a few times myself and know the feeling.

I'm really careful of holding a stone over anything hard anymore.

"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."

You already know you can reshape it...but I get it...it's not the same. It's not like how you wanted it to be! Definitely gorgeous material...so it's worth saving.

Maybe agatewhisperer is not enough for a jasper breccia. Maybe you should add brecciawhisperer or jasperwhisperer as well. BTW nice stone and polish.

Yeah that's the truth. Although when this happened I was definitely not whispering lol.

Anyway, I took your advice mohs and glued it since it's not going outside the family. If it breaks I can try another approach.
