Home Depot stopped carrying Qep blades in Canada. Can’t even get them on-line. No more “300 cuts for only 20 bucks”. Finally got my Hot Hogs in the mail. They are expensive to import, but oh so nice! Here’s my first few cuts with a thin blade. Brazilian? This came in an order of Carnelian from California. Mislabelled, but I’m not complaining. Feldspar and Quartz, Breton Cove, Cape Breton Island – This was originally pegmatite (really large grained granite), but was drawn out by some contact metamorphism. Smokey Quartz with some inclusions, McKay Head – Parrsboro, Nova Scotia Petrified Wood, Arizona Nica Pluma Agate, McKay Head – Parrsboro, Nova Scotia Full-O-Fractures Rock, McKay Head – Parrsboro, Nova Scotia Wormhole Agate (for lack of a better description), Partridge Island – Parrsboro, Nova Scotia Hope you enjoy the photos. Darryl.

I love that Wormhole Agate, as you call it. The colors are great and I really like the pattern. Of course the Brazilian is awesome. I love the White on White banding in that stone. Great job. Tanya
