That flashy line reminds me of the stripe of iridescent scales on a pretty rainbow trout! It should yield a spectacular cabochon.

I was going to cut it myself but one of my customers spotted the video as soon as I posted it, so I sold it. I am looking forward to seeing how it cuts.
I think it will face up full of red.
I used to link the videos but I got sick of it as doing so didnt seem to add to sales but I appreciate the suggestion.

someone will have a lot of fun cutting it

I would probably cut matching pair from it

It's a beautiful piece of rough mick, and what you should really do is put the link to your store in your signature, so it's on every post you make and easily accessible to us and visitors. If you need help with that LMK. :)
