I did my first cutting on my 10" saw over the last 2 weekends and thought I would share a few favorites after I filled 2 ice cream buckets. These are mostly local stone. I didn't include close-ups of the limestone origin jasp/agate as it's mostly unremarkable. There was a really nice blue one, but I couldn't capture the colors. Group shot. My pet (store) rock. Bought it at a tropical fish store some months back because it looked promising. I was right! If you're able to ID it, I'd love to know. Some cave onyx aka flowstone aka calcite that I collected outside Eagle Cave in Wisconsin. Seam agate from Houston, MN. Some wild Montana agate that I bought. I didn't know it was Montana at the time because the exterior looked blue (you may see it in the piece in the 7 o'clock position. Mary Ellen jasper, I believe, that I collected. And a close-up of one piece. A piece of purple Mary Ellen jasper (I think) that I collected. I call it "deep purple". Yes, Ed, it rocks. LOL And a close-up. I hope you can see the red flecks. Thanks for looking. Chuck

The pet store one looks like a lace agate to me. Very nice batch and it looks like you are really enjoying your saw! Fran
