I received the shipment from gemkoi already. It included the winning slab and fire agate. He said 5 pounds, but it was more like 7. Shipping free and super fast. Thanks, gemkoi.

glad to hear Toad! Let me know if you need any tips on cutting the stuff. I can say though the tumbler is usaully my frist step in fire agate cutting. Keep checking often, as if good fire starts peaking through anywere, you may want to pull it from the corase stage.

I don't cut at all. So I'll just have to take my chances with the tumbler, but thanks again.

Glad to here Mel, Ya that paint agate is nice stuff, i got some still with blood red banded patterns. BUt becasue of the age, most is all fractured up, so getting a good slab off it like the one you won is hard to come by. Keep a look out becasue i will be posting another contest next week.
