Agates from Mexico@thestonecuttingfae Those are beautifully cut! Amethyst can be tricky to work with since the color zones aren't always uniform - did you orient these to get the best purple saturation through the plugs? The polish looks fantastic.
@agatesfrommexico I used a point that was very dark in the middle and just cut it in half their and trimmed the lighter parts in to the post
@thestonecuttingfae That's such a smart approach! Dark cores in agates often contain the most concentrated mineral inclusions - cutting right through reveals the hidden structure while keeping those beautiful lighter translucent edges. The contrast between opaque and translucent zones creates amazing depth effects.
