I got a nice piece from a local vender in a one for one deal, I’m going to get 4 cubes maybe, bought another piece from him and it’s even cooler it has native silver in it. I almost have it preformed.

Keep us informed when you get the other bit, I have two core drills so I’m half way there.

OK so first one posted but second one didn't. It just reposted the first image.
:/ So that means I have to do a separate post for each image??  cherry-red-sonora-sunrise2.jpg (100.44 kB . 560x420 - viewed 21 times)Sorry for all the posts but I've never had this much trouble posting photos before. Using img tags has worked for years. |

Do image tags no longer work??
Also I can't get the attachment function to work either.  |

The Cherry Reds seem to be less available now as the Sonora Sunrise is sold down in the market. I just replenished more of this from the main seller on eBay (Micky).
I also really like the bright Electric Orange Sonora with Lime Green but will start a new topic on this later. <img>https://www.zbestvalue.com/images33/cherry-red-sonora-sunrise2.jpg</img> <img>https://www.zbestvalue.com/images33/cherry-red-sonora-sunrise1.jpg</img>    |

Looks like there are some nice cabs lurking in that material. Is this the rock from the seam you were working in your other post? Yeah. There's a four foot by eight foot or so section of the seam exposed on the hillside, as the matrix rock on one side is entirely eroded away. It does cab but the white and green materials aren't fully fused, resulting in some pitting. |

Hey Bob. I bought that one from Ediamond tools
I am going to order one from Highland Park, they are designed to cut hard stone. This one did great on the calcite and serpentine but not so good on mushroom jasper |
