Large and Magnificent Never Again Thunderegg

I am very glad I managed to include a specimen of the larger Never Again stones here. This is truly magnificent - an almost awe inspiring piece with all sorts of nice features. Note the flowbanding in the matrix and the large 'chunk' of it lying suspended in the agate. Note the tiny little 'thunderbud' on the left - a small self-contained thunderegg attached to the edge. Finally note the bottom left corner of the agate where the saw seems to have gone through . . . what is it? B bloom of crystal growing on a bump of matrix that was just shaved by the saw? Producing an interesting flower-like pattern (see detail below).
