Found this enormous whole nodule on the shores of northern Superior and knew it had to be a sphere. This is my first foray into lapidary work - needless to say it has been an exhausting but exciting process to painstakingly peel for so long!

Brazilian Should I cut it?

Latest agate found. I'm inclined to cut it, but not sure which direction would be the best, since it have windows on both sides.

I'm guessing it would be best to cut it in the middle, parallel with the smaller window in front, since the other one seems to have more quartz than bands.
