Wow! There are some beauties in there. They look pretty big too. Those Berbers look like the perfect filler and they turn out beautiful. Thanks for showing.

Those look great! I tumbled some crazy lace once and it took forever also. I didn't do it for a year though. Thanks for sharing.

10 months for the oldest of the Crazy Lace. Probably the most flawless batch I have ever done of Crazy lace. Very worth the effort. Yes they are large. The Berbers only took 2 weeks in course lol. They make amazing filler and turn out so nice. My problem is I keep adding them in Course, then run them through to polish as they are just too pretty to grind away.

Beautiful batch. Some real nice CL agate! I got some of those barbers for filler too. Just haven't tried them yet.

yea those are pits that just never tumbled out. That rock ran the longest (10 months) and the pits just never went away. The material in them took a shine, but wore down with the stone. Not really undercutting, just kept pace with the rest of the rock.

I love those bright orange Berbers, they're great! Crazy lace is always one of my favorites.
