Sorry for the blurries. My phone does not like the lighting and the background First is silver sheen Obsidian that was ok. The Sheen kinda shows up at with the flash. 2nd is just some granite my dad brought back from Wyoming. This is cut thin for a special project I have in mind. Last pic is some Woodward ranch agate and some opalized pet wood. Cutting all day today as the rain has killed my outdoor plans. Got to go pick the next victim for the HP14    |

Thanks. Storms moved out by lunch time, but so wet outside! Loaded up a clear agate that I have had kicking around for 12 years. Was not expecting much as it really showed nothing from the out side. first cut in and I'm pretty thrilled!  |

I really like the Woodward Ranch!  That's a LONG wait on that agate! Pretty cool! |

Sorry I should be a bit more specific. The agate was not clear as in window glass, rather plain milky blandness. Not really showing any bands or inclusions. I can't tell you the number of times it almost got smashed with a hammer. Every time I grabbed it I wondered what to do with it. I'm glad I waited as it is showing some nose subtle bands.
