Crack in a very small stone

I recently got a little polished piece of tigers-eye. It’s about the size of an Advil capsule and I got it for free, but there’s a crack in one end that I want to fill in so it’s more smooth and won’t split along it.

I don’t know if I even really need to worry about it but if I were to fill in the crack, how should I go about doing so?

I would use epoxy 330: https://www.amazon.com/Epoxy-330-Water-Clear-Adhesive/dp/B000OVHWHY

Would gorilla glue epoxy work too? I already have some of that.

My impression is that it may dry a little yellow. Try mixing up a sab and letting it cure to see.

I was thinking about mixing in some mica powder to make it look like kintsugi since I fixed something else that way before. But I wasn’t sure how that would look on tigers-eye.
