    I'll vouch for J.H. Kalmore, they have a nice selection that gets updated fairly regularly, the quality of the stone is quite a bit better than I had expected and the prices are really reasonable...well, except for the Purple Passion agate, but that's to be expected. However, they do turn over their stock pretty quickly, so if you see something you want in stock, don't sleep on it. I was going to order some Moroccan seam agate, but I waited too long and now it's gone.

    Salutations Rock Momma,
    You sure have the eye for all things wonderful and awe invoking! I'm honoured to see the fruits of you labours, and hear you have your fun! You sound well! ....from my many experiences in this life I've learned that rocks collecting and such make the perfect place to escape daily rigors, finding and holding each in kind .... though in doing so my home and flower beds have become cluttered by all those past mineral rendezvous and stony trysts! Whomever said daydreams can't be lasting, hasn't gazed long into the inner depths of an agate, must be impervious to falling in love, deniers of beauty, or they merely lack all imagination and need a big ol' hug!
    Cheers and Blessings! Be Well!

    Just a couple days ago I went to a friends house to pick up some huge Mexican terracotta pots, and one small pot. The small pot was filled with Mexican crazy lace stones. I have not been able to stop cutting and polishing them since I got home. Best part was I got it all for $0.
    BTW, That Jasper thunderegg has to be one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. Just wow, crazy.

    Wow those were incredible agates. One might say crazy. But totally beautiful. All the riot of colours and some of them had such fine banding like that one that was pinky grey that you cut in half. Wonder if there is such a thing as a iris crazy lace agate. That would be a very cool combo iris agate with crazy lace patterns.
    Well thank you for showing us your cuts and taking the time to do this video Kim. Livin la vida loca with the crazy lace 😀

    @bunk9991 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    JH Kalmore is the best. Way reasonable prices with great stock! But like R.A. said, it goes fast. My fav is Laguna Lace agate. The only problem is the agate can be fractured and upon cutting a great slab there can be cracks that dont fare well when cabbing. Love the mexican agates!

Would you be making a pendant of it?? ~ The slab from the Laguna agate has the orange folded veil & I really like it at the 11:33 mark.. ~ The banded Agate at the 14:45 mark might be Iris Agate. Can you shine a high powered flashlight in from an angle in the back?? See if it changes colors?? ~
