	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.

Gorgeous stuff!

"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."

-- C.S. Lewis

I like them all. Please excuse my ignorance on the subject, but how thick do you typically slice a display slab and what is a good overall size for one?

on the thickness it all depends on how stable the material is on the big ones i will be 1/2 inch and up so for instance the blue mountain is 6x4x.25 its very stable the crazy lace at 8x6 is .50 thick hope that helps
