All are gorgeous but I really dig that Rio Grande and the poppy. Great material!

Another great batch! I agree that the Rio Grande is a standout. That one is amazing.
I also like the blueish tint to that Bot. And the patterns are also cool compared to the typical formal banding.
I’m looking forward to the macros of that crazy lace! That one has a lot of potential for some great shots.

They all look really great and the polishes are amazing, but I love me some poppy.

I never tire of lace agate! I just made a cab pendant for a co-worker. He wanted something different for his GF for Easter. Did an egg shaped cab of Crazy Lace and drilled it for him. He could not believe that it was a real rock that was dug out of the ground. Of course stupid me forgot to take a picture before I turned it over to him.

I love these threads of yours! I like trying to narrow it down to a single favorite...and sometimes it's really difficult!!! I will have to say on this batch, the Texas Rio Grande agate does really stand out. I LOVE macros of any of the Crazy/Laguna Lace pieces!

Nice batch. The poppy is lovely, but my fave has to be the bird face in the Botswana (pic 2).

Nice work, Grant. The Rio is a beauty, for sure. I like that poppy jasper also, something I haven't done often. Funny how the banding can be so well defined in some Bots and then some have that cloudy, 'ethereal' look, like the satellite image of a different planet or something.
