Here are a few preforms that I was able to cut before my saw died yesterday. All in all, I got a few more cut than I had thought. Here's my ghost face in the purple agate Thanks for looking! Fran

I am not sure what that slab was. It is an opaque white with black slivers shooting through it. I noticed that the rind had the black areas raised above it also. It felt like it was about a 6 in hardness when I was cutting it. I sure hope it turns out well! Fran

Looks like you have plenty to work on until the saw gets fixed/replaced...

It felt like it was about a 6 in hardness when I was cutting it. I sure hope it turns out well! Fran I am pretty certain that is tourmaline schist . Which is a mixture of tourmaline , feldspar and quartz , making the hardness vary . It will polish pretty good . I have a standup I did . Ted
