I love the colors you have here! The crazy laces sure are pretty but they always want to chip. I hate when they do that! It must be the different hardness in it. You have quite a few crystal areas in these.

Nice batch Roger! Those can be so chippy when you cab them. I remember you warning me about that when you sent me some rough. I would imagine you really have to cushion them well when tumbling.

What great material! So many nice swirly colors. And you got a great shine on them given their irregular shapes. I'd guess from the results that you used a vibe?
Any tips to pass on to those of us about to start a batch of crazy lace?
Great job!

Awesome tumbles Mr Fairburned
Your Agate picking eyes have clearly been well employed recently, it's so cool to see your home picked treasures. I love the patterns in that material, the banding is so tight and intricate, and it looks as though there are a few druzy sweeties in there too, excellent Agates Fairburned, thanks so much for posting them for us! Let's hope the new year brings some more of those beauties to your collecting bucket! ;D
Cheers,
Sparkles.

Roger, nice going. I see a few different colors in there from the 'usual' with you, real nice. You know, I always use pellets in the 220 grit. Fractures make me crazy. At least that's what I blame it on------  Nona |
