This is my latest tumble. I love crazy lace agate and I don't treat myself to commercially purchased rocks very often, so this is a treat for me. I also made a video of how I tumbled these. I started the video over two months ago when I was first starting to get serious about my YouTube channel. The video ended up too long, but it has a lot of details about how I do things. Newbies might find it helpful. There's a slideshow of rocks at the end, but it's the same as the pictures I'll post here. 1 2 I left this one bumpy to avoid losing all the orbs. 3 Back of Mr. Orby 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

I love crazy lace, too!
Mr. Orby is awesome! Following right behind him are #8, #12 and #13. Excellent job on the whole batch!

Mr. Orby is great as are 15 and 19. Never saw orbs like that in Crazy Lace. Like 15 for the vug. 19 for the clear area and bottom red/yellow areas. It almost looks like water over decaying lake plants.

Looks great! I love that stuff, we have a bunch but may not be able to run it for awhile as the line is growing as what to put in the tumblers next. I guess that is a good problem to have. Thanks for sharing and nice job on the YouTube channel.

The orby one is great. I started to make a list of my favorites but there were too many to list. A bunch of great ones. Did all of your rough survive the tumble? I usually have a bunch that don't make the cut with Mexican lace agate.
Edit: Forgot to mention that I think these photos are great too.

I was not all that impressed with the rough. I thought I just got bad stuff. Obviously there are some really good rocks, but there were a lot of porous areas, holes, plain rock, etc. Hopefully I get a couple more batches out of it.

Nice tumbles and pics, Rob. I always like the clear windows that show bubbles inside, and your orby one is great. You had a lot of color too. Thanks for sharing.

How cool. As I started looking at these rocks, for some reason I envisioned the clouds in "The Beattles, Yellow Submarine" art. At least they look like clouds to me. I haven't researched this Crazy Lace material. I wonder if you have to go to Mexico only to get it. Hmm. Thanks for sharing your tumbling technique. Subbed! I finally managed to follow your Vibratory tumbling instructions properly this time. Just cleaning off the rocks now, but I think this has produced my best rocks to date. Thank you. [edit] I was trying to pick a favorite, and I can't . I like them all.

I'm looking forward to seeing the latest batch.
