  • 43 lb (19.6 kg) "whole-polished" specimen of Mexican Crazy Lace Agate (from Chihuahua, Mexico). I am not claiming that MCL agate is the best type of agate; rather, this specimen is the largest and most beautiful agate that I have ever encountered.

    Just stunning detail. I think that perfectly polished rocks can sometimes look like a piece of coloured plastic. I love that your beautiful piece actually still looks like a rock.

    Very beautiful Agate. I love the way you left the organic shapes evolve in the tumbler, showing it's colorful symphony of crystal. You are an artist, from the heart! Thanks for co-creating these beautiful pieces for all of us to enjoy!

    Wow! That is beautiful! Isn’t it amazing what polishing/Tumbling a stone can reveal. You would not have been able to realize the beauty without doing that.

    A really beautiful specimen!
    You handled it so carefully through the polishing process. Very clever idea to use the hot glue. I don’t think anyone else could’ve done a better job to achieve the desired results!
    I hope it goes on display somewhere where the public can see it.

      You should go to the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in DC. ALL the museums there are magnificent & priceless collections. The National Native American Indian Museum (all Indians of the Americas are represented) is another that will have you dropping your jaw with each new artifact you see. And the almost pure GOLD on display is mesmerizing. When you see those displays in person, just a foot from your face, you can really see how beautiful & simple the gold is. The way it glows is something quite special! I understand WHY gold was; since the beginning of human history, always has been, still is today & will always be the “go-to” currency. It truly is hypnotizing!
      Oh, and to go back to beautiful rocks and such… the Natural History Museum is spectacular. One little display I remember, from a “mineral” section, was a display of asbestos in it’s natural form. That was very interesting!
      ✌️. Nice video! Thanks!

    @BackcountrywithShaughn 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Absolutely magnificent piece of mother earth sir! Love that you tumbled it for the overall polish. Your idea of using hotmelt glue over the botryoidal agate formations was brilliant and appears to have provided enough cover during the first couple of stages to keep them virtually intact. I like to tumble the broken pieces of botryoidal formed agate thunderegg geodes, really end up with amazing shapes like your giant beautiful Mexican crazy lace agate joy! Thanks for sharing~

I have a 10+ pound moss agate from WI that Scott Wolter recommended I leave unpolished and uncut. Great advice. Lube it occasionally with mineral oil and it really lights up the patterns.
