Howdy folks, Dang, just started cutting yesterday and my wife reminded me I had to get cleaned up for a dinner party. So this is it for yesterday, only one itty bitty agate got cut up. It is a plume agate. Most the plume agate Rios are quite small, flat, little, biscuits. Anyway a pic.....Mel

Awesome color on this one. hard to get scale in the photo. Are these being sliced in a slab saw and if so what type of vise? just curious about clamping the rounded nodules. My plan is to cut them all in half then glue all to boards to finish slicing. I trust a glued up rock more then the vise sometimes on odd shapes. Looking forward to trying some.

That's a tiny one Chuck. One can wonders only with the largest slab being only about one inch by two. Sliced on my ten inch Covington....Mel
