I wish... I've got one of those chatoyant actinolites on the saw now. It'll be another full day before that one is finished. I'm pacing though!

Sounds like the problem is not enough saws.

It looks like that Dead Elk is pushing up daisies, or should I say Poppies.
At 25 lbs, that would be a garden rock for me. Can't wait to see the slices. It looks like a lot of variation in poppy size across the rock.

Not really. Separated by more than 100miles. I'm really hopeful that this new location will produce more than just this one stone, but if it never ever does, I'll still be there looking!

Here is a teaser- The heel cut. 1 fracture near the top, but the rest is super solid!

Beautiful! Anytime you get poppy that is relatively unfractured, it is a prize....Mel
