    IMO, I would only seal the bottom. Sealed a label on the bottom of one with varathane and left the sides exposed.
    I would liken it to allowing them to breath better.. Not that I'm an expert by any stretch..
    Nice looking stone.

    I,ll throw one more at you , how about seating it in a bed of wax? Once hard it will be stable and also removable if need be. Tc

    Funny thing is, Jnats that are prone to breakage are often sealed on the sides, even to the extent of being wrapped with mulberry paper but not always sealed on the bottom. Go figure
