Greetings and happy new year. I was searching for info on how to cut really small rocks when I came across this forum. The advice and sharing, and friendliness jumped out at me, so I thought I'd join.
Background - I grew up in a family that had created and creates of rocks of all kinds around the back yard, in the garage, amd special specimens in the house. Mostly we collected around Death Valley and No. California. My grandmother would cut and polish stones for jewelry.
But I fell out of this hobby (obsession) until about 5 years ago. The past few years I have been focusing on Agates and Jasper. I have enough nice rocks to now be thinking about jewelry again.
Cheers!

Hi everybody, thanks for the warm welcome! I only have rock photos, but I'll share some photos real soon. This last weekend we went out to the Clackamette area and I found a couple of Agates and a few pieces of Jaspar even though the river was really high and we could not get around the bend where all the agates tend to be found.
