I think it's safe to say this is an oriented individual minus the pretty flow lines you'd find on better examples, though I did not purchase it labeled as such so probably saved a few bucks on that note. I feel lucky to have acquired such a piece because it's sorta fresh and shows good examples of subtle roll over lips with vesicles tucked near the edges on two sides. There is a bit of damage to the froth so it didn't make it to market unscathed, but really no biggie. I would REALLY like to see the interior ~(self control)~. It must have been a pretty nice landing.

Happy Days People!! Love mother earth, and don't volunteer to go to Mars. I know it sounds exciting - the whole Christopher Columbus story, land on new frontier, mad meteorites to claim, getting irradiated and shredded by dust storms - but let's be logical here. Even though Earth is taking a beating in some aspects it's alot more kind and nurturing, wouldn't you agree?

Nice oriented stone. Sometimes the aesthetics overrule the desire to snoop into the interior. We don*t need to feed everything to the saw, in sacrifice. I am enjoying it just as it is.

I agree entirely with both of you. Thanks.

Awesome specimen!! And I agree with you on Mars. Only an idiot would want to leave a perfectly good, habitable planet to go to one that is uninhabitable and inhospitable. Sheeeesh!!!
