Really nice, Tony! I recognize the indian blanket now... I had figured it to be the Chinese jasper. Haven't cut any opalite yet, but now I know what it looks like, I want to! Folks, Tony has some really great rough for when you need a rock fix! I recommend Tony's rock emporium T

Hey Tony, save both the indian blanket and the opalite for when your saw oil is dirty, because when you are done with either one of those, you will have to clean your saw oil out. The indian blanket makes your oil look like a squirrel got caught in your saw, and the opalite puts lots of fibers in the oil and makes it bog down and not lubricate very well. I have several different types of opalite, and some of them cut very well, but this one sure didn't!!
Let us know how it comes out................Tony

Hello Tony,
You sure have a lot of nice slabs. I hope everyone realizes that what you are showing is just a drop in the bucket. I am sill dumbfounded when I think of all that material you showed us Saturday.
Are you still going to Beacon Hill tomorrow? If so I will see then.
John
