I have this piece of rough in the saw right now. It's a piece of super crazy Jasper/ agate from Apple valley Morocco that I got from lapidarycentral Facebook auction. Thanks, Brian!

I had to trim off both ends slightly to get it holding the vice properly. Here's the two small and cuts. Looks like it has good potential! More to come.

Looking sweet, thanks for the tag! We just got some more REALLY AWESOME Apple Valley Agate in. It always amazes me how each and every piece is so different from the last. Truly a fun stone to work with, as you are finding out.

I expect to see some amazing cabs from that whole piece!

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
