Not quite big enough to make coasters, but will be good practice stuff.

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

After I cut it on the trim saw, it was polished in a vibratory tumbler (220, 500, and polish).
