I really put this one off for too long, took me a couple of hours to clean them all up. First table, all Ocean Jasper that Susan and I went in on together. This started out as a 34 pound chunk. I have never been a big fan of OJ, this piece has converted me. a few closeups Table 2 some more of the OJ Morrisonite in matrix Arizona moss we collected while we were at Rodney and Jamies place Queenstone A cool green plume from the last load out of Marsing Some watermelon agate from the Owyhee Gem club's pink plume claim that we collected 2 weekends ago. this I have no idea Table 3, mostly smaller slabs cut on the 10" saw Owyhee jaspers green moss more watermelon agate and a couple laces from the Marsing load and last but not least some Graveyard point plume Thanks for lookin.................Tony

Wow, that's a lot of slabs! All nice stuff, too!
I imagine it did take you a while to get those all cleaned up...

Tony - So just how big is your "cut slabs" pile/room/building? I'm having a hard time imagining. :-) The Owyhee jaspers have to be some of the best stuff ever. Thanks for posting. Barb

Whew! 34 lb chunk of OJ!!! What some great bunch of slabs 'Slab-Man'! I really like that Owyhee...it looks like some great slabs. BTW...how many saws do you actually have running now Tony?? What are those peachy colored ones in the 2nd to last pic?? They look pretty neat. Thanks for sharing your cuts! ;D Steve

Very nice stuff! The OJ is great. I also see some nice canyon scenes in the Rocky Butte. I love the colors in those slices.

Tony: Where do you get all the time to slab so much material? I am retired and don't seem to have enough time to cut, cab, polish, and rock hound as much as I would like. Great looking material.

Those are all wonderful. The OJ is a spectacular piece though and I also really like both the Morrisonite-in-matrix and the watermelon.

Tony! WOW! That is some gorgeous material. I like how the watermellon turned out. Mine is still sitting in big chunks because I don't have a big saw yet. Soooo...I, too, am drooling over the slabs you've cut! I like the ocean and Owyhee jaspers too. Very nice! Rebecca
