Wow! Those are both sweet but I like the weird moss and banding in the Laker. That's very cool!....Mel

Beautiful reds! I have a few lakers, but for some reason they never make it out to the saw. I'll have to change that... Parfive - you have to be careful saying that down here this close to Texas.

Cool combo of banding and moss in that laker. I haven't cut any yet but will have to give it a go now. The condor agate is pretty also.

Hummm - gotta get me a saw soon Nice rocks there BeefJ I like the laker, that's a funky banding pattern, it's great the way they randomly flow in curves and angles rather than the fortification style, or plain flat onyx style. Thanks for sharing Sir. Harry.

I was a bit surprised to find the center of the condor to be hollow with crystals. Guess I shouldn't have been.. but from the pics Ricardo posts I expected it to be solid inside. The little laker slab is well on it's way to becoming a cab.. lol. Fractures and all. I'm finding fractures just come with the territory as far as that material goes. Thanks for the comments

These are beautiful. I just received some lakers, so I must now cut at least one in half.
