Gorgeous Druzy Agate! Very good shine and perfect photos! Thanks Ami I had a bit of trouble with the crazy lace, because my light box was losing its light source (sun) and I didn't notice. The other pictures were taken later, but I had moved the lightbox into more direct sunlight.

Garage Rocker What do you think Randy... getting better. My moss agates were due to be posted here too but I had a lot of pitting / crack issues with them only in the polish stage so I'm kinda going backwards figuring that out. EDIT - figuring out tagging lol

That's a super batch, Grant. That's some nice looking crazy lace. There's a lot to look at, for sure. Great shape and shine on those tumbles. And the photos too, Bravo!

Thanks man, means a lot coming from you That ME was some sweet material. It largely retained the shape from when I cut it up; very hard material it seemed. I can't wait to show you my moss stuff but I'm kinda embarrassed because they don't look like this batch Trying to get some rounder pebbles for my lot-o to polish with (vs ceramic) and see if that helps.

Ha! I must have been typing while you were earlier. What timing. I like that Mary Ellen, I don't remember ever tumbling any. Good looking rock.
We've all had our issues with Moss and plume agate. Don't sweat it.

Those are beautiful. Love how the slabs turned out. Thank you! Credit to the Paul for the slabs as they were all high quality. I just cut them with the tile saw and tumbled. I really don’t know what to do with them now though lol. I might see if anyone wants to make something with them and they can keep one and give one back

Those look great. I’m a sucker for crazy lace, so those are my favorites, but they’re all really nice.

I might see if anyone wants to make something with them and they can keep one and give one back Those broken up slabs are perfect for an easy craft project. I let my son rough up the back with a dremel and super glue a magnet on there. Something he enjoyed helping with and another way to display tumbles. I have some on the refrigerator, on my cabinet at work and plenty have been given away.

Those slabs , and tumbles look like they have 3 coats of clear polyurethane varnish on them GREAT job

Nice work and nice variety. I may have to put Mary Ellen on my tumbling "to-do" list.
