Did a little cutting today, and a cut my first Blue Brazilian! I was so excited when I opened my saw and what I saw was BLUE! This is the first for me, and it's probably not that big of a deal to many of you; it got me stoked! I think I'm gonna slice some more tomorrow. One other picture. After seeing Steve's (horseinaround) Fishies, I decided to give the fish thing another shot. The last time I attempted fishies, they didn't turn out that great. I used softer type material, and by the time they were finished tumbling, they were all but ruined, and I was sad and discouraged. Thanks Steve for posting your pictures. I decided to use some harder material...Brazilian Agate, Carnelian, and some unknown stuff but super hard. Hopefully they'll survive the tumbling and crashing with the other rocks. Steve
