Since you were so kind to send that big African agate ;D ;D I thought I better let you know it had a bunch of "little slices" the other day !! --- a whole "litter " ( 14 of them)and still looks to have some more !! ;D --- thought i would wait a month or two before trying to feed them grit or polish but did want you to see a "new-born" pic of mom and the kids !! all the kids look to be clones of their "mom" with a thin red line in them ! thanks! -- that's the kind I like !! ;D ;D

Wow great rock pups you got there Dave, bet they are really keeping "snowdog" jumping. ;D
That is a totally awesome looking agate, can I guess that it's on it's way to becoming a lamp.

Nicely cut rocks snowdog. I'm sure the rock must have been large to get so many slabs. Nice job!!

Vert nice cuts and agate. These slabs look like twins, indeed! How thick are the slabs? They seem quite thin, I'm affraid to do such thin cuts.
