Sure looks like it. Definitely not Cady or Lavic. Must have been a bonus. All I know is I want more of it Crazy lace is a fun tumble and a crowd favorite. It's always the first to go when people pick out tumbles.

Giant killer, 3 pound tumbler and you sure did crank out some shining treasures. I was amazed at the small percentage of those Rio's that were free of pits and cracks. I brought back a whole load of them and it is not easy to find many that do not have cracks and pits. And I intentionally collected the material with as few cracks and pits as possible with the intent of having fine tumbles grrrr. Point being, good material rules. If agates were like solid and crack free like obsidian it would be a perfect tumbling world. Fortune came my way when I discovered Georgia petrified coral. Not the flashiest but often w/zero defects. Look at other's tumbles to find out which materials tumble well. Maybe ask their source. Like Brazilian agate and bloodstone. Those Botswana's can be el primo.

The shine I cannot argue with. I matched big red in that department. It's the fractures that bug me. Next up is the "Ramsey" agate. I started 3 of them in my HF and will start a few more when the lortone comes in. I also threw some lakers in there, some MEJ and the Bots I wasn't happy with. I'll just keep trying and experimenting until I achieve better results
