[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 231019, member: 2976"] The few pieces I've done were a bit on the brittle side of things and were not hard to accidentally chip but I didn't have any problems with them fragmenting. Sounds a bit like Agate creek agate - saw a nodule in half and everything looks fine but a day or two later, big cracks can have developed. Seen that a few times. Hasn't happened to me but I watched a few people at the club lose cabs they were making from small nodules. One minute it was fine, the next moment the cab flew apart on the dop. [/QUOTE]
