Outstanding cabs Mark! Really love the shape on that last crazy lace and that's some nice lace for sure! Last ones tough. Looks kinda like a Botswana but maybe a Mexican piece like a Casas Grandes or a Parcelas. hard to tell without seeing the nodule in it's original form...Mel

Thanks all, You would kill me if you knew how I got them and what I paid. I will show you next Monday as my Aunt is coming to take care of Grandma and I am going back up Monday morning for "a controlled rock hunt".

Mel, well Bots is what I first thought, but I have not seen any rough. I am leaning more toward the mexican stuff you talked about just because of the "crust". The chunk fell apart after my blade bound, well actually the Druze fell out first then the rest on the next cut attempt, I will puzzle the pieces together and take a pic for the Monday pics.

The crazy lace chunk still has about 3 inches left and it just seems to get better as it is cut. Did everyone see the bubbles under the clear agate? It almost looks like a reflection from the cab holder but they are there in the cab.

Ha Rich, yes I rewarded myself.
