(Colorful gemstone slabs from Pennsylvania, self-collected, slabbed)
I collected these rock specimens on several rock club fieldtrips, most are from the Fall of 2012. Using my humble wet tile saw with a diamond blade, I slabbed those pictured into 1/4" plus sections. The fresh-cut surfaces reveal more that just a rockhammer break would do alone for study. As lapidary slabs, these rocks (shown wet) show how they would look polished. I intend to craft cabochons for jewelry.
