I received a box of agates to be cut from a viewer and we used our 10" lapidary saw to cut most of these Lake Superior agates, and our 5" saw to cut one smaller limonite stained agate nodule! These beautiful gems were a ton of fun to cut and I really appreciate Gabe sending these over to us to cut and to share this cutting video with all of you!

When you opened that "quartzy one" I proclaimed "WOW!" just sitting here watching by myself. That was absolutely beautiful. I love the quartz! One would have to be quite the stone snob not to appreciate that. Every stone is beautiful in its own way, and should be celebrated as such. I know this cutting was for a client, but do you cut and sell cabs? Jewelry makers would have a hayday! Tfs!

That orangey nodule was exquisite inside...I just love the lattice quartze patterns...would be soooooo happy to expose something like this...even on my 6" tile saw.....will be investing in.a 10" lapidary (such as a Hi-Tech) soon! That.one really reminds me of "non-shaker" Keokuk/Hamilton geode slices...can't wait.for the fest September 23rd-25th!!!
