I just love this specimen. I found this one a few years back in North Carolina.

Faceted gems are spectacular, but the piece rough, as found, would be the only way for me to go. There is just something so amazing in a natural piece.

Not to mention faceting can get a little expensive.

Yeah, but it adds huge value to the gem, which is a multiple of the cost of the faceting.
