Title: Egg cutting 2.23
Post by: Kaljaia on February 23, 2021, 12:56:14 PM

Had a warm day yesterday and got some saw time in. They're all cuts of broken eggs, all the whole eggs are going in flat-rate boxes right now but still plenty of surprises! The first one is a face cut on a broken bot egg that came out way better than I expected. The agate is full of staining and dendrites between the layers, which is what's giving it that sharp contrast. Dragonskin teggs from the claim.

That first one is a stunner! The botryoidal one (2) is really cool too.
