I am debating whether to cut or grind smooth in several areas two pieces of Indonesian petrified wood with botryoidal chalcedony that I recently received. This is what I was supposed to have received: This is what I received (The seller removed most of the yellow surface agate.): I just don’t like the look of the pieces gouged and scratched so I want to remove as much of the damaged areas as possible and maybe grind smooth other areas. First Question: Should I try to cut the pieces or just leave them as is? Second Question: Should I cut the pieces along the red lines or somewhere else? Third Question: On the one piece should I also try to remove the top piece to expose more of the botryoidal chalcedony? The back face of that top piece is really damaged. On one side the top piece would be easy to cut because of the void underneath. The other side would be very difficult because the void doesn’t really go all the way to the red line. Fourth question: Are there areas I should try to grind smooth like area1 or area 3 or area 5? Last Question: Should I give up on trying to salvage the pieces and just try to cut out intact the botryoidal chalcedony in each piece? Marco Sr.
