These few stones are a rare find for me, why? The stone polisher gave me the stones and the 'dob' many decades ago. I thought that it would be prudent if I shared these with you in this essay.
The matrix in the stones made these two stones almost 'non-usable'. But for me this shows how a natural stone can be made completely usable, even with subtle defects.
This stone is being seen under my microscope at approximately 250x Power
magnification. This is stronger than continually using my iPhone camera. The matrix in this stone is quite colourful, but it isn't suitable for jewellery, pity!
I like this stone as it looks like a 'map of the world and its blue oceans', agree?
This photo shows the underneath side of the stone. The matrix is quite apparent in this view.
This final photo shows the cement as it is being made ready for the 'polishing process' that will start shortly.
