This is a Brazilian Agate that is 3 1/2" tall. It was easier than normal to get the dome brcause the slab was 5/16" thick. Bob

That's beautiful! I always love the way Brazilian agates take a shine, I just need to set my slab saw up with a gravity-feed so I can cut the numerous Brazilian agates that I have laying around. Those things are hell on a slab saw!! lol.... Awesome job on the cab!!
