Just curious, approximately what percentage of these turn out to be duds when you cut them?

Wow, those are amazing! I love the black outline around the center. Looks like a river in crystal cave.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

That depends on what one would call duds i guess, I do cut a number of them that go directly on the rock pile. lately I would say 50 percent or better. I was told at the ranch that one good one out of 10 is normal. the more i cut the pickler I get about what I want to polish.

That black ring is what I like about this one also, a bit unusual. I have a bucket of red bed to cut so I hope to get more like this one.

Some day I will be posting some of my TE's for ID. Many look like Richardson, but I am not a TE expert.

Baker and Lava Cap are particular favorites.

Nice eggs.... The RR has a good selection of eggs there too......

I'm also particular on what I keep anymore, about 90% of the ones I cut go for sale.. I would say out of 500 eggs, I might keep a five gallon bucket full, that go in my personal collection..

God,family and life.....
