And maybe another name for this lighter colored lace is Cactus Lace.

 Sorry it’s a bit fuzzy, but the general idea is there. Thanks Sue! |

I don't like the ones with bands of color. I like the lace, which is usually white

denversue . I don’t see your response. I’m not 100% sure I still have that material. I’m always happy to trade though. I can look in my slab boxes.

The fuzzy pic does look like cactus lace. There are though, many lace varieties some of which overlap or are even named for the miner. A few are:
Dog Tooth Lace which has pseudomorphs after aragonite. Also sometimes called "bubble lace" as the pseudos occur inside those bubbles.
Cactus Lace from the Josephina claim
Chinese Writing Lace (Dying Lace, so called because it is porous microscopically and takes dye well)
Day and Night Lace (Zebra Lace). Banded black and white and often fractured.
Fine Line Lace. Usually sort of not real colorful IMHO but nice patterns of well-defined fine lines
Laguna Lace. Term used for colorful and nicely lined lace. Bands not real fine and more like Laguna agate with fortifications and such. Some of this is often called Red Crazy Lace.
Noriega and Victor's Lace. Named after the mine owners, both these are colorful and often have fancy patterns like more colorful Fine Lined Lace or more colorful Cactus Lace. Some of this is red crazy lace too.
Black Lace. Showed up like 50-60 years ago. Not in books and I don't know where in Mexico it came from but man it was nice. Have a cab or two from it somewhere.

catskillrocks Thanks so much. The "old stock" Crazy Lace I want so badly has no geometric shapes and no color banding like the ones in the pictures. In my picture you can see the delicate white lace and the subdued grey, pink and brown colors. Here is another example. This is my original one from 1975 that I shattered; these are the only 2 pieces that survived

I don't want to seem rude, but you will get lots more help if you put better pictures up. Either they are too blurry or too small or pixelated. Since this is the one you want to replace, put up a nice big picture so we can see what it is.  |
