The saw keeps requesting to be fed - I don't believe any of you veteran rockhounds warned me about that part of buying a saw, but not being one to complain- I grudging comply :-) Here are some recent cuts, the Morrisonite came via ebay - I bid on 3 auctions hoping to win one but knowing there is no way I can win all 3 - and as luck would have it - I win all 3 - so now there's about 24+lbs to pick and choose from!! Morrisonite Lake Superior agates Probably one of my favorite finds so far - a very colorful little laker!! Burro Creek purple agate

Looks like you did real well on the Morrisonite.
Every time I buy one of those small Morrisonite lots it's a gamble. Trying to get primo slabs is tough. The competition is high and so are the prices. I've done ok in the past buying the small rough but my most recent experience was a disaster. Ideally, it's best to look at the rough in person. Unless you have the opportunity to got to a big show, buying live at a reasonable price is also expensive.
Nice snag on ebay.

Looks like a nice sxcore on the Morrisonite, and those lakers aren't too shabby either.
