question abou the rhodonite.. i recently bought a slab at a local show and spent 2 hours cabbing and then it cracked ... so i pressure tested a few other parts of it and they cracked ... was it my material or is this common for the material ? if the price is right i need me some bumble bee!

I read this to ralph and he said that he never had any crack. He pushes very hard on his wheels too. This chuck is from the cabs ralph made. So, i'm thinking it might have been the material. mary ann

Nice Assortment Mary Ann! How hard/soft is the Bumblebee Agate? I've been tempted to purchase a few on ebay but haven't done so yet. steve
