The Marcasite from Indonesia I purchased in February is stunning so far.  So far I have cut up 3 rocks and the 2 out of the cubes have so far been very impressive.  The fun thing is I still have one smaller rock and a big boulder to go.  

The second Copper Rose boulder is currently in the saw now.  I have learned to see where the copper is better after wasting a lot of material looking for it on the first boulder. I will definitely get 1 for inch sphere out of it. It appears to be very solid so far.

Have another Specular Hematite waiting to go on the high speed machine.  It to is a solid piece.  This one is also out of a smaller piece of material that I got.  I can't wait to start on the 100# boulder sitting out by the saws.  Also a material I wasn't sure how it would work up.  Thanks Ryan for talking me into it!

In looking back over this blog, I think I have gotten into working the materials with high metal content.  They do turn out amazing!
