PostPosted: Dec 05, 2010 13:41    Post subject: Cracked Fluorite specimen  

I was going through some my pieces in storage to prepare them for display. When I un-wrapped this piece I noticed a large crack down the center of it. So I wanted to get a few experienced opinions on how to process this specimen. Should I try to repair the crack or go ahead and separate the piece and trim it to a couple smaller specimens?
