Be careful but use a tile saw and a BD-305 Agate Cutter diamond blade look it up on line. You also might be able to use a lapidary blade. -

A lapidary slab saw works best. It is a big investment I reccomend a diamond saw blade which is a another big investment -

You will need a diamond dust blade. You can find saw under lapidary supplies. -

Do an internet search for local Rock and Gem Clubs. They will have the correct type of saw and can even advise you regarding polishing. -

You will need a lapidary saw. They are expensive for sure. Check with you local rock clubs, you may find one that has a workshop to join or someone to cut it for you. Or a rock shop will cut it for a fee. ROCK ON ROCKHOUND -

That's not a job for amateurs. I'd suggest you find a lapidary shop and see if they'll do it for you. It would be cheaper. -

It needs to be a wet saw otherwise the agate will get hot and fracture -
