After taking the summer of from cutting I cleaned the saw and changed out the blade (the new one needs a new segment and you cant do it when installed)
Bloodstone from HP this is meh. I think there may be a neat cab or 2 in there somewhere

Then some Blue Lace Agate (Rough Stones), Argentina Banded Moss Agate (HP) and Brazilian (Kingsley North)

And some chunks for the tumblers. Rose Quartz is from Rough Stones also

I can't tell if thats some Gneiss Schist, or that Schist is Gneiss. All I know is don't take it for Granite

It will be interesting to see how that looks finished.

Thanks for sharing, Patty

I've worked some before. I do remember it was difficult "finding" a spot to cab. Nothing ever seemed like any kind of pattern "spoke" to me when looking for a spot to cab...

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
