Fine Texture & Linear Cracks
From the above pic:
1 = looming linear crack
2 = natural linear crack due to dryness and shrinkage of the amulet mixture substance (mostly shell lime ). 

7-tiered Somdej KesChaiyo was made and blessed by Somdej Phra Phutdhacharn (Toh) of Wat Rakang with high age of nearly 150 years. Quite a long time gradual dryness resulted cracks with specific linear patterns.
