While reorganizing the garage, cleaning out rocks, and throwing out stuff that hadn't moved in years, I did some cutting of some odds and ends I found. Davis Creek Sheen Obsidian: Agatized and polished snail shells. I seem to recall that the boys got these at a Searches Gem and Mineral garage sale but my memory is going: Nodules and rocks: Thanks for checking them out. Paul

Paul, Your saw looks much too clean. You need to cut some Jasper for that red brick mud look! Lynn

Paul, Your saw looks much too clean. You need to cut some Jasper for that red brick mud look! Lynn Hey, Lynn ... yup, you caught me on that one. I had just installed the blade earlier in the week and these were the first cuts. I had warped a 303C last September when I was cutting through a bunch of the Rio Grande agates and finally got around to purchasing a new one from John W. This one was the thinker version so, while it does eat more materials, it seems to be considerably more sturdy than the prior 303C.

Thanks, Grizman ... the agatized snails were really a killer find. Someone put a lot of work into extracting them from the base rock and then polishing them up.
