Fractured CZ B

Here chunks of CZ were embedded in large plain clear core. But not deeply enough, and too much. It fractured badly. If it had not fractured I think the effect would have been fairly pleasing, like clear water over shiny stones. But it's a disaster. The moral of the story is, don't overdo it with CZ. If you either put too much in the bead, or get it too close to the outer skin (not sure which yet), the whole thing will fracture during annealing.
