Don't know what it is but it's kinda cool! ;D It was getting dark so not the best, plus the flash went off. End cut Slice Held up against the fading light, will try again in the daytime when I have some real light!

Great orbs in that one Donnie! Looks like it might be Luna Agate out of Mexico. Most examples have mostly smaller orbs but I have some that has big orbs very much like your example...Mel

Thank you Mel! I am thankful it wasn't too awful hard to cut. Some agates drive me bananas they are so hard!

Wow, those are some purty slabs there. You are going to get some great cabbing out of those. I am sure the end cut will be a great display piece too.

Was going to cut more slices yesterday. Had it in the saw, went to feed dogs, came back & the saw was stopped dead in it's tracks. It was getting dark so I couldn't mess with it too much. I am hopping it cranks up for me this morning otherwise I will be looking for a new motor!
