There is Always Geodes.
Posted by Bev Darby, Rock n Spheres on 21st Aug 2016
With having the 24" saw out of commission, I find myself with nothing to put on the sphere machines. I just loathe when that happens. When looking around I came across some Mexican Coconut geodes. Thank goodness! On the medium machine I now have a geode that I started ages ago. On the slowest machine, I have a new one grinding. Happy to discover that it has the agate rind and not the brown mud! I expect that neither of these will be finished this round of work. That is if they do not break apart before they are completed.
I have cut 2 smallish Fire Mountain cubes. Neither of the small saws were happy with cutting larger pieces of this. I am now taking the corners of a large Marston petrified wood cube that I found looking around for something that would cut in the small saws. Also I have a type of crazy lace agate having its corners cut off.
Cross your fingers I get the replacement parts for the saw soon! Alan has it dismantled and ready for the new parts.
Thanks for reading.
