Black and white Healed fracture

Healed fracture

Preparation prior to cutting and polishing a cabochon

As promised, here is one of the cabochons I am currently working on. 

This one came from one of my first pieces jasper that I found along the macquarie river, NSW, Australia.

I am concerned about the cracks visible on the left side and bottom right of the piece, having had a nice piece of agate shatter on me during polishing, it is an experience that you wouldn't forget any time soon.

But nothing ventured, nothing gained.
