    Kentucky Agate

    Cut what I thought was just a junk piece of KY Agate but to my surprise it turned out to be a keeper. I used a typical diamond blade and it's not even polished yet. Ya never know.

    Very nice. I wish we had some of those around here where I live. What did you cut it in half with? Do you have a rock saw? Would a tile saw work? Been thinking about getting one of those. Thanks for showing, Tim

    I used a tile saw with a $60 diamond blade. Cut right through it! It cuts through just about anything.

    wow that turned out really nice. agates are really an unappreciated gem in my opinion. & I think I will have to get a tile saw too.
