These are the stones we set aside during sorting. The banding runs perpendicular to the original grain, marking places where the buried trunk cracked and groundwater refilled the gap with chalcedony.

The contrast between the woody matrix and the translucent bands is what makes this material worth polishing. Hold one to a window and the bands light up.
