The eyes have it. But I have a thing for orbs.

This is not a criticism, but commiseration, particularly with regard to the Laker in the last photo: I frequently get cracks or chips in my agates, too, and it's really disappointing. What do people generally do about them? Leave them alone?

I've considered grinding them out and running through the vibe again. But that's a lot of work...

I was told by the shop I got it from that it is a Moroccan agate.

It is a very nice batch of stones.

Nice agates edog!!

dandresow: Thanks. Haven't done anything with rocks for years. Just fixed an older HP 18 inch and dug out a 10 inch and 18in Lortone and I have a couple of trim saws and need to make something to cab with. We stay broke and I only have enough to put oil in 1 Dec 1, 2024 16:49:20 GMT -5 *
