I'm with the leave it as is group on this one. If you want to experiment and see what happens, go for it. I think it looks great, though, the way it is...very natural. Instead of looking like a "young" chain of mountains, with sharp peaks and valleys, it looks like an "old" chain of mountains, ground down with time and age. Not the Alps, maybe, but the Adirondacks (sp) or Appaalcians or large portions of the cascades: majestic in their own right. The older I get, the more I appreciate the rounded, worn down, dogged out look! I would be proud to have that stone in my collection.
