Thanks Eric - Tumbled agate won't take too long in coming (famous last words)

Sweet additions, Martin. I gotta say I really like that Acanthite and Calcite stone. Looks superb!

Thanks for the kind words Magnus, always good to hear from you.

Same settings as before other than a change in the materials and render-time which had to be extended to two hours. All materials this time were constructed using KeyShot Procedurals

Interesting study Martin! I was thinking the last one looked like a piece of candy  :o

Tumbled and talc polished agates can look like candies - Just don't try crunching into one :)

Kind of reminds me of some dragon egg or something...

Low grade pressure fractured Agate with Quartz inclusions cut and polished. I should have spent more time with the modelling to create a better geode as the outer crust should intrude into the interior and wouldn't have a clean edge as depicted here.

Thanks go to Eric for his crackled textures that I am sure are going to come in very handy soon.
