Cutting this material is pretty straightforward; it is a nice solid agate that takes a great polish. There’s nothing really tricky to watch out for in terms of cutting the cabs. I think the difference between a good stone and a great one in this material usually comes down to one thing: composition. There is a lot to work with in this agate; there are orbs, bands, waves, and occasionally a black dendrite or two. I spend more time just thinking about what I’m going to do with this material than with most others.
