What type of saws do you use?  How much do they generally cost?  I have a small 7&quot; diamond saw now, but want to be able to cut larger stones.  Any
suggestions? ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ What do you all think of this very nice piece of Clay Canyon Variscite?  I came across this piece at a garage sale, and just had to show it off.  I've never worked this material before, and actually stopped by to show Rick at Rockpick, but he wasn't around.  I've see specimens he has for sale, and it's quite pricey stuff.  Now, what do I do with it???  I picked up the other piece as well.  I'm not sure of a location, but it's a neat piece to.<br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img... ]]></description>

			<link>http://utahrockhounding.yuku.com/topic/414/t/Looking-for-large-saw.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ Last summer I was able to collect a bunch of septarian nodules.  I have some very nice whole nodules that are rather large (10-15 inches in diameter).  I am happy to give some of these to somebody who has a large saw and is willing to cut me some slabs.  Any information or leads would be appreciated.<br><br>Awesome site, by the way. ]]></description>

			<link>http://utahrockhounding.yuku.com/topic/417/t/Salina-Bubble-turtleback-agate-with-.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ Hi ya'll!<br><br>     Had a chance to get out this week for a while collecting, got a few pounds of some excellent agate!  Thought I would take a couple of pics and see whatcha think!  On the last photo I took an upclose pic of some type of crystal that is a pseudomorph replaced with agate.  It is sticking out perpendicular to the long tube in the photo.  QUESTION:  Is this most likely a psuedomorph after calcite or is it some other type of mineral?  Any replies will be appreciated!<br>Thanks... ]]></description>
