At the top of the dome there is a slight orange peal texture missed during the block work. Also there is a dark streak near the surface which could be mistaken for a surface annealing fracture but under close inspection it is decidedly a streak of dark pigment right at the surface which occurred during production which could be professionally resurfaced. Minimal shelf wear to the concave polished base.
