I was looking at one of my new clutches (post-shed) and I noticed something odd: a non-symmetrical head-stamp on one of them. https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...ked_lztcaq.jpg
A trivial thing, but, something I haven't seen before. :)

Single gene Het VPI Axanthic with a heavily pitted piece of agate.
From a distance the stone looks cool, but, up close you can see a lot of...'character'. :)
After rotary grind I vibed the agate for a while to remove some of the minor surface imperfections. I thought about breaking off the top half of the stone while it was still rough, but, there are more pits on the other side and even if I tumbled smaller pieces from this stone they would still carry flaws.

"Flaws"? I only see a very pretty stone with a nice little ball o' beep.
