I'm always dragging home interesting looking rocks from work just so I can throw them in my saw and see what I get.  Most of the time they are duds.  A few turn out to be worth it just because they look cool inside, but not much lapidary value.  Occasionally I find a nice piece of something worth cutting a cab from.  And then every once in a while I get a winner.

I was walking across the job on Monday and looked down and there was a random agate just lying at my feet.  After a quick test-lick (yes, I admit, I'm a licker) I knew it would be worth cutting.  And I was pleasantly surprised with the results.  I'll only get a couple small slabs, but they are nice.



Remember, I probably hauled home 50 pounds of crap just to get one good stone like this!
