From time to time here in the CP lapidary shop we have a dispute of opinion.
  Oh yea, it's about rocks.  So, one of us (not sayin' who) wants to cut the piece while the other wants it saved as is.   In light of this (and many previous or yet to come "disputes"  ), we thought it might be fun for some forum members to give us feed back on them and help decide.We'll put up a vote poll when we add a disputed piece which everyone can cast a vote on. Question is....... Cut the piece or not cut the piece and save as is for a specimen? Here's the piece we are currently stale mated on in the shop - Agate, nice bubbles and looks to have pink plumes. First view
Second view
Thanks for your input and feedback everyone.

To cut, or not to cut..... "If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason." -- Jack Handey

If they were they'd have eaten the snake instead of the apple and we'd still be in heaven.... |
