Still very nice. How thin did you cut it? Did you try oiling it a bit and giving it a tilt back and forth in the sun?. A good number of Berkeley Hills t-eggs that shewed turtleback we iris when cut thin enough. Oddly, I've never even tried to cut an agate thin enough, often enough to catch me a good iris...Mel

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
