Nice! You sure manage to get some large stones without flaws. I just had to cut a nice one in two because I couldn't get a chalcedony spot out. Now I have a flawless small stone, and a flawless tiny stone, lol. I like your style better T

This one is going to Australia. Thank you everyone for your encouragement.
I cut from the very same rough that I sell from. I cut everyday except Saturday...for the most part...sometimes I dig...when I pick one out to cut I just reach into my sack of rough and pick on out at random and cut that one.
The only time I search my rough is when a customer or one of you all has a specific size/color request.
When I make up my parcels I sort them dry by size. I will put a mix of sizes in my parcels. I don't get a good look at the colors unlit I wet them to photograph.
Tony, Stuff like that happens to me sometimes to. I had a big one break in half...I think is was last month....really broke my heart. Sometimes if the color is really good I will just drill out the bad spot and put a faceted stone in it. Peridot works well with fire agate.
