Here's one I found out in the wild just before my birthday a couple of months ago. It was my find of the day here. Finally slabbed it and figured since I found it I get to name it

The end cut

Thanks for looking!

I Wanna Rock!!!

I hope you can do something to keep the bookmatched Polka Dot agate pair together. As pictured, the pair has a real Art Deco look - yellow Hollywood stars over a swayback man and woman forming a cartouche. Something I'd not be surprised to see forming a box lid or set into a lamp base atop Louis B. Mayer's desk.

Thanks, looks like we were posting at the same time.. I really like what you see in it!

I Wanna Rock!!!

Thank you Ladies! (mario)

Here's the latest of the Polka Dot

Little overcast so the pic ain't the best.

fantastic5 Looks like I bought this rough from Daniel 10 years ago when he was living up there. Found the thread that it originated from..

forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/thread/24829/polka-dot-agate

Time sure flies.

Thanks, have a wonderful evening! (cheers)

Can I be your friend? LOL! I still don't have a big saw and probably never will. I live in close quarters. My neighbors would not like me much if I were to saw in my yard.

As one who has asked about slabbing, I've heard several people say they will take a slab or two of what they are cutting.

Sure! But the shipping costs would probably cost more than you would have to pay for slabbing. I have cut for shares if it's good material - I did that for one of the dealers in our area. He ended up giving me more material than I could handle, so I hauled all the uncut material back to him.

I did the same for a member here many moons ago. I kept the heel and had first pick of 1 or 2 slabs. We both were happy with the deal

I Wanna Rock!!!

I finally cut a nice chunk of bone I picked up at a sale last year. Funny, I didn't realize until I looked for the thread that it was 1 year ago today! Anyway, this was the 8 dollar yellow bone. Take a peek, pretty sweet!

I Wanna Rock!!!

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
