Side A - Sometimes, matrix can be beautiful. This is one of those times. The intricate lines and whorls look like a painting. Lots of nice chatoyant white to show off cab sides, unique patterns to exploit, and lots of light color to match with each other. This matrix appears to be stable to work.
Side B - Another, smaller, beautiful pattern of tight natrolite matrix, also stable to work, in the shape of a crab. Lots of chatoyant white on a field of light blue.
Edges - All sides saw-cut and straight, good thickness evenness, no matrix or structural problems indicated.
I show sets of pictures front, back, edge, back lit, dry, and wet, in approximately the same position, to show you what the piece looks like as-is and how it would look if it were polished (the wet look). In some cases the piece is back lit if it reveals any information about the internal structure of the piece.
