I want to say I have, but I'm not positive.
Absolutely gorgeous material!

The patterns are enchanting.

I have had a few smaller pieces that were about a 1/4 round. But, you could see it came from a bigger pattern. You have some really nice slabs. Are you going to polish the slabs?

Yes I have a few pieces like that also... Usually find them around the Miles City to Glendive areas of the Yellowstone river in Montana..(better colors from that area)..

Bill, I gotta say those are stunning slabs! I didn't have an answer to your question...so I waited until someone else chimed in! LOL
I have come back to this thread numerous times to look at those. I can't believe how much they remind me of a Cheetah Agate! (I know they're not...I just mean with the colors and the "spots"!)

It is without question the coolest piece of Montana I have ever cut into. I am currently cutting some of the crap that RWA3006 sent me as well as some orange Chalcedony from vegasjames. Will try to post some of those by Xmas.
