Cutting Patuxent River agate

Article Abstract:

Cutting a Patuxent River agate demands care and precision. To bring out the stone's appeal, one should concentrate on its unique patterns and color. For polishing, diamond wheels with grits up to 50,000 will reveal the stone's lustre, while leather is best used as a final polish.
