[QUOTE="AtomRat, post: 173935, member: 3111"] They have awesome patterns through them. A lady at the local gem club collects many rocks similar and is always making something out of them. After cutting them, im sure youve found that some of the rocks are very soft, and some can take minutes. Never press the rock into the blade too hard, let the diamond work into it. Metho is used sometimes for cutting rocks too but becomes a stinky process. Ill take some photos shortly, very sore from a walk i went on yesterday Usually when collecting rocks, ill grab two that are very similar of each rock. That way I always have on uncut and another in half or chopped up. [/QUOTE]
