Happy 2019!!! I finally have been lucky enough to get a Tile Saw for christmas and decide to have a go at cutting a few pieces of Chalcedony, Common Opal, and Rhyolite with Chalcedony through them on my new toy, in an attempt to further my journey into the Lapidary realm. Come along and see how my first time cutting rocks goes. the results are awesome!
