This bit had a lot going on when I cut it and it polished up nice. A shame about the crack, goes all the way through but I'm just happy it didn't give way during polish.

hello notfragile, darn those cracks on the most awesome of gems. The quartz pockets, or is that drusy pockets?, in the swazi agates are super fascinating though. Thanks for posting.

Great colors in that one. I agree Swazis and also the African Malawi's are often heartbreakers with all the dang fractures. Odd that they really resemble Botswanas, but the latter are usually much freer of fractures.

Man I’d love to be shrunk down and go look around inside that druzy pocket!
