Not sure what it is, jasper maybe? What ever it is, it's one HARD rock! Took 1/2 hour for each cut. Later, jeri

Hard cuts usually lead to mirror polishes. Darryl.

Much better than the outside let on. Great job! Fran

Thanks for looking. Those cuts took so long I thought my blade was dull.

So I got out some ugly looking pitted seam(?) quartz and it cut just fine. Some nice surprises inside, but nothing spectacular.

This is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much fun! ;D ;D ;D

Later,
