Here is a higher resolution picture of the "Old Stock" Crazy Lace I am looking for. This is what remains of the piece I bought in1975 that I dropped and shattered
IF YOU HAVE A SLAB THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS THAT YOU'D BE WILLING TO SELL, PLEASE SEND ME A MESSAGE.
(I dont like the stuff that has big color bands or geometric shapes)
Thank you in advance

I most likely have material similar to your slab, and a lot of other variations of lace agate, I like it too and slab quite a bit of it. Most isn't unpacked yet, but there is some that I have cut since we got here. For black background lace agate, the australian crazy lace is also pretty cool, at least the one largish chunk I have.

I wish you luck in finding material very similar to what you broke. Crazy lace varies widely in patterns and colors, and finding material that is almost identical to something purchased 45 year ago may be a challenge. To me, your photo looks like Noriega lace. That is the variety of crazy lace. Not every piece of Noriega lace will look like your photo, because there is a lot of variation. But it tends to have the subdued colors you are looking for, and often does not have any geometric shapes or banding.
