I had the big saw running today and was thrilled with this Montana Agate. I just had to share it!! ;D It suprised me when I opened up the saw and saw the initial cut. Tubes galore! I got 2 slices off of the nodule with a few more to go. I just need to glue it on board to continue the slicing. Backlit and even neater! Steve

That is very nice... It is always fun when cutting rocks and you get a nice surprise. Thats why I like cutting Jasper and Thunder Eggs, like old Forest Gump said you never know what your going to get.

Very beautiful and unsual Montana agate! I have only one MT with tubes in my collection, have not cut it yet as it is a nice specimen showing exposed tubes. Thanks for sharing the pictures. Bill
