Wow those came out great. When it's time for my next clean out I will take a couple of photos to share. By all means. Crazy lace are eye candy. Just posted a couple of photos on the Rock Tumbling Photos page.

There are variations in the quality of some material called "Crazy Lace". I've seen some really good material and some with a lot of the soft stuff you seem to have. Even Kingsley North can ship some pretty mediocre stuff on occasion. Having said that, i also use 60/90 as my first coarse run, and sometime run that for a month to achieve to acceptable shape. KD Thanks for your feedback. You don't happen to know any sources of high grade material do you?

Crazy Lace is my all time favorite agate. Sadly, i don't know of a consistently good source of the stuff. All i can offer is that when you are looking online for it, shy away from the stuff that has a lot of deep red areas, that is the softer crap.

Tumbling a large crazy lace with some clean sawn faces on it. It is softer parallel to the layers than across the layers. Can be seen clearly on the flat sawn faces.
