[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 291950, member: 367"] Those are awesome, I was thinking they would be red for some reason. I'm sure we have those over here or something that looks like that. It wouldn't hurt to call Ritter brothers from Williston to ask how much to cut and polish them. I got to know Tom Ritter quite well , He was in the oil business too and we drilled a few wells for him in the 70s and 80s so he hung around the rig and we had some interesting visits about diamonds and gems. He was a cutter back then but he is getting right up there in age but the business is still up and running so It wouldn't hurt to call and get a quote but I bet it will be spendy. I see the saws and polishers have dropped way down in price. They were high dollar items back then but since there are making lower quality tools for hobbyist It's been a good spring to get out and I have found a few interesting rocks but I can't get my phone to take pictures so will have wife to take some with her I pad.
