Did I spell that correctly? Who would throw away something like that anyway?

Yeah Randy, that's some pretty bad junk you have there. I suggest you
let me take it off your hands, I have plenty of places to keep junk like that.
It's really really bad so you should send it right away too, you know, so
it doesn't get in your way. ;D ;D

Here ya go Cher, I started to cut them up, I only had time to do six of the botswana agates before it got dark(and two Bazilian agates). This is how they look before I throw them in the tumbler, I'm spending more time on these than I did on the tiger eye.....

I think that they're going to be my favorite too! Here's what I use to round them off (since the vibe tumbler won't) ......keep in mind that I can't recommend this to other people, I'm aware of the risks and accept them, when I come home from hanging off buildings four stories in the air, this doesn't sem like much.

Well I could use some of that "junk Mail". We did a batch of Botswana Agate awhile back and they came out great. The Brizilian Agate is just a nice.

Keep posting them pics. I'm looking forward to seeing them when you are finished.

you will find that the pattern in the rock changes every time you take a slice off. you never know just what is next and you will also find that the Botswana agate is a very hard rock. when you find the pattern you like make something nice out of it. I had Bola ties made

I can't tell if thats some Gneiss Schist, or that Schist is Gneiss. All I know is don't take it for Granite
