Popped open a couple of barrels on Tuesday. I had large pieces in each one and a lot of smalls for filler. The first is a piece of Mexican crazy lace I bought on ebay. There were 2 pieces in the package and they had a lot of chalk covering them but I could see some colors. Three shots of the first one I cleaned up. ![](http://i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp254/carloscinco/11-27-12-tumb/P1020670.jpg) ![](http://i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp254/carloscinco/11-27-12-tumb/P1020655.jpg) ![](http://i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp254/carloscinco/11-27-12-tumb/P1020652.jpg) a piece I trimmed off ![](http://i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp254/carloscinco/11-27-12-tumb/P1020668.jpg) Black rock of this batch, my favorite but its hard to photograph ![](http://i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp254/carloscinco/11-27-12-tumb/P1020673.jpg) You find twisted lumps of agate like this looking like dough that's been twisted up. Sometimes there's some color but normally these are shades of brown and gray. First shot of what they look like when I find them and after I trim and tumble them: ![](http://i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp254/carloscinco/Zapat10-22/Zapat10-22052.jpg) ![](http://i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp254/carloscinco/11-27-12-tumb/P1020665.jpg) I was worried that the spray of yellow on this one would wear off as it tumbled but I lucked out: ![](http://i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp254/carloscinco/11-27-12-tumb/P1020659.jpg) Plumes and moss: ![](http://i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp254/carloscinco/11-27-12-tumb/P1020656.jpg) ![](http://i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp254/carloscinco/11-27-12-tumb/P1020666.jpg) Thanks for peeking.
