[QUOTE="Dihusky, post: 548572, member: 10304"] Very pretty little pebble, if I had this I would first do a polish in a tumbler so I could really see what's inside. In the bottom photo, apart from the rutile I'm seeing what could be a crack just above your thumb, I think it would be more interesting polished than faceted as the scintillation once faceted could mask the interesting inclusions. Polishing facets with rutile breakouts can be very challenging as scratches can sometimes emanate from the inclusions. [/QUOTE]
