I finally got an old grinding wheel and dressed both my trim saw and my 10" slab saw. Both had not been cutting well, so I didn't want to damage the blade until I got it dressed. They were cutting so well I ran several things today. The first ones worth showing is self collected from Graves Mountain, Ga. This is lazulite in quartz. This was cut from a small brecciated jasper/agate nodule from a quarry in Summerville, Ga. I used the trim saw to create these little slab-lets. I was really pleased at how the pattern changed on the inside. This is my brecciated tree of life. I hope I can get one of them to cab out nicely. And the last one worth showing is some of the Withlacoochee coral. Corallites just make me happy Thanks for looking.
