Two very different stromatolites the lighter one is 4” the other 2 1/2”.

These once again prove how superior spheres can be to highlight rough. Wonderful!

Wow.  Those are both beautiful.  Sphere's captured the essence of the algae perfectly.  Again, give a master some good rough, and excellence is the result.   :headbang:

It shows the structure of the stromatolite in a way that a slab or cabochon wouldn't, in addition to being gorgeous work.

Very nice! I especially like the contrast on the smaller sphere.

Is that second one the Bolivian material? I like the definition of players on that one.
