I was cutting slabs yesterday, but I usually trim the endcuts and any broken pieces into rough preforms, and even a little shaping on the side of the saw. plume. This is cut from the scraps, and I expect nicer pieces form the slabbetts: a softer star-burst rhyolity. These are the backs and there are 3/8" domes on two of these. two bolos I cut. One unknown, but a neat blue shade. The other is PruHeart agate: some misc preforms, and the endcut of my royal Sahara jasper

Eye Poppers for sure! What an interesting star-burst rhyolite, that is just unbelievable!

I have a pretty good memory fro where I got a rock, but I can't recall on this. Could have been ebay back when I lived in PA.
I'll post some pics of the rock.
