Most sellers of good Dinosaur Gem Bone post really good photos and you can see there is little "texture", cracks, pits and open cells.

Indonesian Flame Sagenite I believe.   I would suggest considering having someone with a bigger saw to slab it - perhaps a trade for part of it as payment.

Yes, that is a good piece.  Try to avoid anything other than fully agatized bone and you will not be disappointed!

I thought I would post a few pictures of three custom Jade handled knives I finished yesterday.  They are all very complex handles so they were a real challenge.   dancer27

Beautiful work - Exactly which Jade is it?  I know a lot of them but I am not sure I recognize it.  I would guess Boulder Creek but the photo is not detailed enough to see the grain/texture.  It is a darn nice green for sure.

Oil won't help.  Post some photos so we can see the stone and texture.  It is tough to give advice without more information.....   walker23

I would be willing to go with you to help pack out and I have a 24 inch saw so if it can be carried I can cut it.....
