More Quartz adventures. Not quite big enough to make coasters, but will be good practice stuff. ![Quartz Slabs](https://i.imgur.com/8JqojZ1.jpg)

You're making me regret forking over all my local Rose Quartz slabs I put in the Traveling Box! LOL

Looks great. Just cut a bunch of that quartz myself. Planning on some Christmas ornaments/magnets (snowflakes and snowmen) I think.

This particular type of quartz is know as Inmayard Quartz. Cause I found it in ma yard.
chris1956: I like the ornaments idea. They do have a bit of an ice/snow feel to their appearance

neural, here is a pic of a snowflake I made from similar quartz material. After I cut it on the trim saw, it was polished in a vibratory tumbler (220, 500, and polish). ![](https://res.cloudinary.com/rth-new-member/image/upload/v1721176988/new-members/dec5ym4axbcd5lkfd9ug.jpg)
