Thank you Fishenman

I cut parcels every week for a friend of the family who owns a mine in Mexico. I offer Fire Agate "starter kits" that include low, medium and high grade stones. This kit gives a person not familiar with Fire Agate the opportunity to cut on lower quality material to get a feel for the material before cutting the finer material. I also offer jars of commercial grade and top grade Imperials priced by the piece.

Thank you Debbie and Tom
Tim,
I am waiting to see you cut some more of the stones you got from me. If I remember right one of the high grade stones I sent you was a Peacock. Those two stones should produce stones in league with this stone if cut right. Just CUT them...even if you mess up it will be worth it because you will LEARN! You can only get better by trying and doing. CUT them!!! I have more when and if you need them.

I love seeing your Fire Agates and thanks for the push. It may have been directed to Tim but like myself, others will benefit from that little push to brave it.

Sitnwap,
I humbly accept your thanks. I hope my comments do motivate others to cut Fire Agates. It is the only possible way to learn and get better. Those stones are just waiting to be cut.
Bejewelme,
Thank you for the complement. But when you start with good rough and cut a little and look a lot, it is hard to cut a bad stone, especially if you love them!
