Thread: Escher stone

I have a thuringian that I recently obtained that has had a rough life and one of the chips on a corner looks like it chipped at either a natural inclusion or "layer". If it is a thuringian it may have been dropped or been almost crushed edgewise causing this phenomenon to happen. Who knows what has happened to a stone before it came into our possession. Sealing it with several layers of a sealant like polyurethane or high build lacquer may help it & sure won't hurt it...but as these guys have mentioned it is almost impossible to diagnose a problem without pics...this is intriguing...
