Ask a "Silly" Question / Re: Thunder Egg Cutting
« on: March 30, 2021, 04:32:42 PM »
Hi Again
Background - I was once a member of my local Lapidary Club but pressure of work forced me to leave & focus on my career. Now I'm retired, I just like to maintain my collection of crystals, free form and rough specimens. With my current question regarding my Thunder Egg - its approx. 5" x 4" in size and is already broken so I know its solid with nice agate? veins.
With the cut orientation, I would follow the cutters recommendation to ensure a good result but the cut would be about 4" down and 5" across.
Maybe I will ask around at the next Gem and Lapidary Expo that is coming up soon?
Cheers Phfantom
