Customer didn't want adhesive used (nor did I) or to see any mounting method like formed rods or fine mesh fabric - so I went for an 'engineering fit' a small flat black frame reverse-mitred, cut to a couple of mm larger and then lined with mountboard so the thing squeezes in very tightly. Then a reverse-bevelled mount with aperture cut ever so slightly smaller.
I'd rather not sink things back like this but that was pretty much the only option.

Re: Landscape agate
A very nicely executed job and the colouring of the frame works very well with the agate!
May I ask which moulding was used?
