I got round to having a look at the agates Mac was kind enough to give me and slice a couple i found locally.
The smaller one of Mac's was always going to be sliced, but i was a hard decision on how to approach the larger agate.
I ended up slicing the damaged end off, so that i could see what was inside and so that it would still be a reasonable specimen as it was. Well i was not ready for how beautiful this stone was going to be on the inside, it is really stunning chatoyant agate.
Also sliced a couple of agates i had found recently. One was a bit fractured but looks beautiful, the other has gardens growing through it.
