I received my parcel of Holt Canyon from Randy RWA3006 and very happy with the purchase! Thank you!

I sliced a few small rocks yesterday and am surprised at what variety there is in the material. shaped a few last night and this is the result- all still need touch up and sanding but think they will turn out nice. Here they are in no particular order-

I've yet to cut into the larger stones but have read the material can be pretty fractured to the point of it crumbling on the saw. is there a stabilization method that can be used for rough rock so can slab it? I've read of methods for slabs or cabs but what about a cpl lb rock?

If I had known it was so pretty I'd have kept it for myself! Kidding. Thanks for the kind words and photos. Very beautiful.

You made a very wise purchase! Those stones look amazing already. Looking forward to seeing them finished and what the big ones look like.

"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."

	Any agate is fun to cut and polish, I would post some pictures of the stuff I have finished but unable to post pictures nor can I add any posts also have a sweet geode I recently cut. So I put this up to see if I can add to profile nothing else will.
