Beauty inside! Options

[Denise]

Which one of these rocks do you think holds beauty inside? All were cut in half to show what's in them.

They are pretty cool! It definitely looks like a foot print Chris! If you turn it slightly counter clock wise you will see the orientation of it when in the ground by it's bands. Only the three in the middle (left to right) have druzy centers, the rest are solid. The only ones that match (from the same rock) are the center and the one directly below it. I can tell there was a slab taken from it making the patters not match as much any more. Bet that one surprised a few of you.

When I saw them piled in a wooden box, I thought right away there could be damage to the cut face making it difficult to polish out. The blue one on the bottom left has a big chip out of the face of it so it will probably be cut up to make other things like guitar picks, sculptures or cabochons. The center one also has a chip and a crack going straight up in the pic. Others seem ok for flat lapping though.
