Shiny and Sweet! I am going to go for Crazy Lace my Favorite! I have a big slice of that Silver Lace Onyx...does it contain Silver? or is it just the name??? I know the price tag on my slice is quite a bit...so why is it expensive material? Thanks for posting the Awesomeness! steve

Steve:
The Silver Lace Onyx is actually silver ore, the black is oxidized silver, but the reason it is expensive is the BLM put requirements on the claim that were way too expensive to keep the claim active. So, the veins were bulldozed back to "natural" landscape. There is still small material in the old tailings pile, and that is where this piece came from. Woody

Wonderful material - and I like the squared off cabs.
And I know a few people who would go crazy for that BC rhodonite.
