You could polish the outside of the best side and leave the rest how it is naturally. That's what I do with my best ones.

You need to find a bigger one so that you can go ahead and cut THAT big one right there! Because that thing is gonna be FILLED with tubes and red/white banding. Those "pull down" designs are tubes eroding lengthwise. Either way, that thing is already amazing on the outside. Those other agates are pretty sweet too. That's a great spot! That sagenite spray on the smaller stone was gorgeous as well. Also, congrats on finding a scale with your name on it. That will never happen to me. :D LOL!

Don’t vein agates typically have a flatter top and bottom with host rock? I could see the band like structure similarities of vein but also a rough tube on the large nodule scale.
