The quest for flawless Montana agates is not for the faint of heart. I have had a very long love hate relationship with them going back at least ten years. I have come to expect a yield of less then 10%. These particular stones spent 14 weeks in stage one and then underwent cleanup with the trim saw and grinder to get them over the hump. I did include a picture I took of the rough rocks at the end of the album.

Thanks for looking
Chuck
