woot woot! I'm glad there was at least a good hallow one! Looks like a nice little Amethyst color. Right on. Glad you liked them. Remember folks, www.gemcenterusa.com/ has tons of these and mines them. Visit the site, and call them for bulk inquires. They are fun to cut.

You cut those on a workforce?! How big are they?
I didn't know it could cut stuff like that.

LCARS...the largest 1 in the 2nd pic...is 3 1/2" in diameter.....at the largest point...the void in it was about the size of a dime...that helped a lot...but not totally...i still had to turn the geode 90 degrees to the blade and trim a little of the excess off.
in the last pic..geode was about 3 1/4"...it also left a spot in the middle....but this 1 was solid...had to turn it 90 degrees to the blade and trim a little also.
but all in all turned out pretty nice...it sure was a different kind of cutting.
