Newsteel,
You are right. There are more black spots on one side ( probably the outer crust) than the other which has only a handful. I still think the lines are growth lines as they can be seen throughout the whole piece, now that I have cleaned off some of the dirt on the tajong hilt. It's a big piece so as much of the material as possible must have been utilized.
Thanks again for checking.
