Nope, I have it on the saw in 7 more cuts, it will be a sphere preform.

I just discovered that I have another smaller chunk. It is finer texture and is most likely from Llano Tx.

I went hunting a little for pics of your sphere machine build to satisfy my curiosity, but couldn't find anything. Any chance is this something you're documenting?

Not right now. I have a mess and I am waiting for my shed to be delivered so I can move around a bit. Probably won't be until spring before I get the machine going.

That is a heck of a beautiful stone!
I'm with the others; I suspect might be hard to get a polish. I know you'll make it happen! Keep us posted.

I've got some Llanite in the 4lb tumbler as we speak. Actually, we just got some good downpours in central Texas - hounding in Llano the next week or two would likely be very productive!!
