Picture 019

My, I managed to get excellent focus on the disaster at this pole. You can see where my raking uncovered some coral that was lurking here; and a burn mark; and boil acne; and in general, this marble is a reject. the colour scheme and the concept work OK for me, but the execution was just lousy. Oddly enough it didn't seem that way at the time; it was only after annealing that the full horror was evident!
