Perkinsville agate  Picasso from that huge boulder. Ignore the green that is my shirt reflection in the oil.  What's in your saw today? |

Covington
New saw needs to be mucked and I need to remove the blade to do that. The nut is seized so I need my impact driver to remove it. I don't want to get into that today....

Wearing green on Independence Day?  Why don't we see red, white or blue in that rock? Huh?  Nice cuts! How many more slabs left in that Picasso?
Didn't get on the little saw today, but did cut up some fancy tumbling rough over the weekend. First in a while. |

Where does one get purple Passion? Hey Scott... @shotgunner , i 'I picked this up from a young man from Chihuahua, Mexico at the Franklin, NC show last July. It was expensive but not near the prices seen online. He was there with his young son and had a pickup truck bed full. This was the best of the 3 nodules I bought and have about 4 more slabs from it when I get to it. I have seen it called Parcelas agate also and looks the same but Purple Passion agate is mostly used. But many use that term discription loosely...I have seen a lot online that looks nothing like this. We are making plans to return to Franklin at the end of this month. Beautiful country, friendly folks and there just happens to be a few rock shows in town !! Perfect in our opinion. |

you also can check with Dammon at American Lapidary in Wisconsin. He usually has rough also.

I got it! Funny story. 15-20 years ago I found a large wrench on the freeway while fixing a flat. It's been on a shelf in my garage ever since. It's big! That is the wrench broke that nut free. |
