In the past few weeks I have not had a lot of time for rocks but I did manage to get a few slabs sliced Some Brenda agate, flourite and Burro creek pastilite Some cripple creek and some Gary green and believe it or not, the Gary green is not the green stone. I got these from Catmandewe. Thanks Tony! Then, today I thought I would just slice a few geodes and see what was inside. Here is the first one I cut, side one and two A smaller geode that had oranges and black dendrites around the edges with clear and white crystals in the center Then BINGO! I have never cut one with amethyst before. These are the geodes that I got from Maryann not long ago Thanks Maryann!!! Fran

Wow, look at those perfect slabs form your saw Fran! Makes me want to run out and buy one! I have a few parts to build one, and you're really prodding me to get to work on it! I love that 1st geode you cut. The twisted up fortification along with the druzy is really a 1-2 knockout punch to me.

Fran, ya hit the goldmine with Bingo. In over 50 years of collecting and cutting rocks, I've only had one of those bingo's. It was only the size of a golf ball. Don
