Diamond Pacific was at our club's Museum yesterday doing machine demonstrations. One of the items was a massive drop down saw that was set up to cut material. I brought a few pieces (my t eggs were horribly disappointing, so none are shown) and here's the best of the cuts. Kramer dendritic material Guadalupe Poppy Jasper (given to me at the event) Northern Cady Fluorite Mine Plume Jasper (Mel's find) (This piece is crumbly and chalky. I got 4 slabs and I hoping they don't fall apart.) Southern Cady Pisgah Crater Road (Slab received as gift from other member) Southern Cady Pisgah Crater Road Red Moss (There used to be a large hillside covered with big 50 lb chunks of this material. Now you need to dig.) Happy Father's Day! Lowell
