A realistic skull cut from a single block of red crazy lace agate, 3 inches.
The banding in crazy lace is folded and contorted rather than concentric, the record of silica filling a cavity that kept shifting while it filled. Carving it means the pattern changes direction under the tool with no warning.
The skull is the hardest test of a carver's eye, because everyone already knows what it should look like. The passages that take the longest are the ones you notice least: the transition from temple to cheekbone, and the way the teeth meet.
