It's like a crazy lace time capsule. This is amazing! Looks like brecciated crazy lace.

There's no argument here. Indeed a beautiful array and proof why folks love that "lace" family. Luckily these found their way into the hands of someone with the talent and diligence to bring their merits to their best light. Thanks for showing them to us.

Rockjunquie, the picture shows a cab where I cut across the top of a crystal formation. It does look brecciated and definitely is different because it shows what I think is great replacement structure and quartz infill.

I prefer Laguna and will probably give it away

I can see why those are your favorites. There's not a bad or boring one in the bunch, but this one...

Wow. That belongs in a museum.

Finally, your photos are now spot on in terms of focus, brightness, and color accuracy! Did you take all of these photos with your cell phone? If so, what kind of phone do you have?

What a grand collection of lace, Victor! Beautiful stones. The variation in the patterns from one piece to another has always mesmerized me.

I have always liked black and white lace. Unsure why, but I'm drawn to it. Your pieces are stunning.

The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Good color, nice contrast and looks like minimal cracks so I say see what you have hiding in there.

I don't know if I have ever had so many favorites scrolling through photos like that. What an amazing collection of lace! I do believe the ones highlighted by rockjunquie and Son Of Beach are some of my most favorite of the bunch.
