Did some serious cutting yesterday....

First off,some Texas agate....

This agate is from Mel...

Some agate from Jeremy..

Now some other agate..

Brazilian agate....

Montana moss agate...

This Montana moss agate,I cut the quartz top off the agate.....Turned out great!

Sometimes you can only get a certain cut and have to go with it...Not to bad,I guess...

Looks nicer in person-lots of waterlines..

Ask Sabre52 about his boxes of Rio agates. That's what's shown. The prices are reasonable. If you have a trim saw/tile saw that's all you need. But, make sure you tell him what size saw you have.

edit- I'm in Virginia Beach- land of sand and clay, so I feel your pain.
