Those look great! Expecially the big exception. Thanks. The big exception is the largest rock I ever finished in a tumbler. Man…that (crazy lace right?) big one is something else! Everything shines but damn, that one is exceptional. Thanks. Yes it is crazy lace. In the pictures, it looks like it has a couple holes in it. The apparent holes are filled with agate. Dood. My jaw hit the floor when I saw that huge crazy lace in there. And the closeups of it are just stunning! Great job on those!! Thanks. I bought that one from The Rock Shed a few years ago. I intended to slab it then decided to try to tumble it instead. I’m glad I did. It was fun to watch it progress. That last one is really cool as well! That’s a slice of Mozambique agate I sawed up last year. Some of them are starting to show up in finished tumbles. It’s grouped with some other Mozambiques in the second photo.

That big piece of crazy lace agate is absolutely incredible and the rest of those rocks are amazing as well. I have a new batch in my tumblers right now and they should be ready in the next 10-15 days.

Glorious! Really loving those. I'm working through some crazy lace now and hope it will be ready soon, but lots of divots, etc typical of MCL.

I have a new batch in my tumblers right now and they should be ready in the next 10-15 days. Thanks. The big one was really fun. It was quite different at each cleanout. It was a tough call when to move it on to stage 2. I’m looking forward

The big exception is fairly smooth for an MCL agate. It looks like it has a couple holes in it but they are full of clear agate. I bet yours will turn out great.

The big one is really amazing. All the small ones are also very beautiful. I am distracted by the reflection of fan/light on the ceiling

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!! What else is there to say! LOL So...you set the bar so high my friend! When "newbies" are looking for examples of what rocks should look like when they're finishing them, your tumbles are what should be the picture showing what defines "perfect tumbles"!!

Very pretty! I had a strange urge to put some of them in my mouth... like candy or something.
