Still trying to find my groove with this 'new to me' saw. Here's some of the hidden treasures I've unleashed... Wasn't quite sure what to do with this small river agate I collected while hunting the Brazos River with Dave (@arrowheadave). So I simply cut it in half. Now it needs a polish. This is a great little agate that I think came from my trip across Utah with John ( herchenx). Probably our stop at the Last Chance site. I can see a nice cab I would like to get out of this one! Some Anorthosite from a trip with John and the Fort Collins Rockhound Club up to Wyoming. I was really pleasantly surprised at how pretty this is upon cutting. The outside doesn't look like much. And perhaps my favorite of the weekend, also from our trip out to Utah, but this was on our Wyoming stop. Some fabulous Stromatolites! Thanks for looking! ~Roland

Nice group of slabs. The best way to find your groove is to cut allot of different types of material with any new saw. Have fun.
