Howdy folks, Here are the slabs I cut on Monday....Mel Kind of ehh. This is actually that orange looking fortification agate I posted the pic of the other day. Pattern was just too broad and not enough contrast to make it worth a darn. I had this still in the vice so had to take one more slab before it was finished up. May reorient it and take more cuts. More I look at it, I think it's some kind of dense palm fiber or some other monocot plant fossil.

Don't those first cuts look "wood grain" in appearance, or is it just the way I am seeing it in the photo?
Looking forward to seeing more of #2 as well... interesting...

Second one is palm fiber I think. First looks wood grainy but is actually just a fortification agate....Mel
