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.
This type of material was the first I ever cut. Super resonate with it. This video had me literally gasping with my hand over my mouth. Absolutely beautiful.
So nice to see the most beautiful laced Agate ever. Thank you for preserving it and sharing it to the world. Simply spectacular how mother nature is. Thank you for sharing this amazing find and keep them more coming.
We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the opal, donnaboyle669! Indeed, some opals are too spectacular to cut up. Their natural patterns and colors are truly mesmerizing. Don't forget to stay tuned for more opal-related content and a chance to win opals by subscribing and engaging with our channel! 🌟💎🌈
Very nice. And it’s great that you documented your process with photos long before we had TH-cam. And now this video of it is awesome too. Thanks for sharing.
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!
The famous mudfossil lung turned to breathtaking sculpture! You have the gift my friend. Thank you for sharing! I remember Roger Spurr sharing this a few years back. Very impressive photography!
@@PulitzerOpal Oh, Please do! Don't get me wrong, I LOVE opal. But there are sooo many other stones that portray their own beauty and deserve recognition. And a bit of history about the stones, ie the when, where, and how type of thing would be very interesting. (Like "a 40lb chunk of Malachite". WOW!) Be watching you daily!
That is a dandy for sure , wow ! About ten years ago I was able to get ten pounds of agate like that but in smaller pieces. I really treasure it and made some nice jewelry with it. Thanks for sharing !
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.
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.
That’s an amazing rock. Mexican crazy lace is one of my favorites. I just finished up a batch of small ones about a month ago. I was really happy with mine, but yours is at a whole other level! Nicely done.
I have been looking for hours for a tumbler large enough to tumble boulders. Thank you for including the tumbler details in the video. Absolutely amazing piece.
This is a beautiful stone with all of its colors but I'm partial to Moss agate it has a haunting picture affect in black and white, like a heavy snow n the mountains. There's just something very peaceful about staring into it and seeing the different pictures emerge from the stone. Thank you for showing me this stone.👍🇺🇸👣😋
What a gorgeous stone. Thank you for sharing. Absolutely beautiful. I absolutely love all kinds of different stones. Opals just happen to be one of my very favorites.
thnx for posting the video. indeed an excellent sample of agate you have there. you did a very good job with it. it turned out great. even covering some of the round spots with the glue was a very good idea..thnx again and cheers from Mexico...
I have been collecting since I used to have to pick rocks in the field on my grandparents farm when I was around 12, well 30 years later, I still love it, and that is one of the nicest crazy lace I have ever seen. thanks for sharing!
Why would somebody give this video a thumbs down? I’m just happy he shared the video so I could see the specimen. Rather than thumbs down why not suggest how he could have done better and affording others to learn from this example. Thanks for sharing your efforts sorry you weren’t able to protect all the spheres.
I had five of those huge tumblers, but I stopped using them when I ended up with all these giant polished rocks with no place to put them. I still have a number of them… The really good ones.
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!
Holy cow! That is spectacular! I would definitely sit and gaze at every square centimeter of a treasure like that. I'd love to add a small piece of a stone like that to my little collection.
Beautiful! Crazy lace agate is underrated, especially the large and superbly colored and patterned specimens such as this one. So glad you did not cut it up. 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.
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~
@@PulitzerOpal - Thanks! I totally get the 'millineum sandwich' aspect, but one would imagine it had to have formed somewhere other than in that pile of dirt. Maybe further north and been carried there by some glacier? I've always been fascinated by the creation of some stones, what pressures or chemical processes had to occur, to force crystal formation and layers.... Damn, gonna have to take an online geology course! ((btw... my brother and I used to hunt Thunder Eggs in S. Oregon, love them!)
@@PulitzerOpal - Not sure if Millennium Sandwich is a 'thing'... LoL! It's how I used to refer to some of the rocks, and the stripes in places like the Grand Canyon, when talking about it to my brother when we were little. I'd point at a stripe and say... 'x' million years ago.. and this one is 'x' million.. a millennium in each stripe! Like a sandwich! And, I think I'll just download a couple torrent books about Geology and the finer points of semi-precious rock formation. If I find an easy to understand, yet comprehensive volume, I'll forward it to you! Maybe something you can use in your vlog, when describing the different stones, give a little 'geologic lesson' in how they came to be?
@@vericacvetkovic9093 nature beats God, unlike god, nature can be inspiring, observed and a well proven existence in reality. No need for so called gods.
theres a really neat agate where i live in clarke county alabama. i call it "candy corn" agate, because it looks alot like candy corn when cut into triangles. its got blacks, oranges, pinks, reds, creams, etc.
Truly amazing, glad you tumbled whole. "That little whole, I'd like to crawl into if I fit" same!! I feel the same. Side bar, my mom loves sphalerite and likes to imagine every druzy pocket was a tiny apartment to some little creature

the lines are geometrically fit, and colors are so Homogeneous and harmonious. it is really astonishing.
I have never understood why many people undervalue, in beauty, agate. I have always found it to be quite lovely.

Wow! Stunning specimen. You’re very lucky to have that in your possession.
Not going to lie that was awesome! I would have a drink and some smoke and look at that for hours.
Plenty of those in california.

This is absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing this!
Mexican lace agate is so beautiful. This one is spectacular! You did it justice with the tumbler. Quite the job getting it up to the tumbler machine.
Absolutely spectacular!!!! Thank you so much for sharing this breath-taking specimen!!
Absolutely freaking incredible!!! Great work showcasing its glory!
I can't get over how pretty this is, LOVE the close ups.
I have been looking for hours for a tumbler large enough to tumble boulders. Thank you for including the tumbler details in the video. Absolutely amazing piece.
Stunning!! Thank you for sharing!!
Amazing!! I wish I had it in my collection. You are very lucky to have it. I love the mix of the red's and yellows.
I have seen some brecciated jaspers that are as spectacular. Your piece is so spectacular, it appears almost organic, like an organ..
This is a beautiful stone with all of its colors but I'm partial to Moss agate it has a haunting picture affect in black and white, like a heavy snow n the mountains. There's just something very peaceful about staring into it and seeing the different pictures emerge from the stone. Thank you for showing me this stone.👍🇺🇸👣😋
@@PulitzerOpal thank you I'm looking forward to seeing that buy most of all the Moss agate one's!👍👏👏👏👏👏
So glad this video came up as a suggestion to watch. Unbelievably beautiful! Relieved you didn't slice it up.
Excellent job documenting this. You're a good teacher.
I admire your effort to polish this specimen whole. It is truly beautiful.
This is so educational too, it shows the botryoidal shapes which create the intricate patterns, fascinating.
What a gorgeous stone. Thank you for sharing. Absolutely beautiful. I absolutely love all kinds of different stones. Opals just happen to be one of my very favorites.
No matter how many times I watch this.......the end result is still as beautiful as the first time I watched it. Simply beautiful.
Thank you for sharing, absolutely beautiful specimen!
Thanks so much, i really enjoy your videos Sir!
Absolutely beautiful. Those are my favorite colors.
Pulitzer Opal I am sure I would I have one agate necklace but it is blue and autumn colors are my favorite
That is incredible, I’m glad you preserved the natural shape.
Wow I’m a Lake Superior agate hound...I just have to say that rock is beautiful...so much to look at.
WOW! Gorgeous specimen, and also, I've never seen a 40+ pound rock tumbled...
Well, I must say I'm impressed. :)

Youve done an amazing job
What a stunning stone.
Opals are my favorite along with party sapphires. Thanks for the great video.
I could look at that for years.
Thanks very much.

Agate has always been a favorite stone of mine . Thanks
theres a really neat agate where i live in clarke county alabama. i call it "candy corn" agate, because it looks alot like candy corn when cut into triangles. its got blacks, oranges, pinks, reds, creams, etc.
As good as it gets!! Makes me happy just to see it.
Beautiful agate!!! Really made it shine with what you did!!
Thank you, Deborah!
Wow... That is freaking outstanding. Gorgeous
Beautiful specimen thanks for sharing
That's absolutely gorgeous thanks for sharing
Wow its the first time i see a stone like this. Stunning
Fine looking stone. Beautiful.
What a beauty.
So beautiful! Love the colors and patterns!
Just found your video. This turned out very nice and a true specimen to be proud of! Nice video. Thanks
The beauty comes out when all the lines become more defined. It's a beautiful specimen.

My pleasure! It was a fun project. I didn’t know if the hot glue would prevent smoothing of the “bubbles” on the surface. But it did.
Very beautiful, glad you kept it whole and tumbled it!
thank you for showing this piece to us! I'd show it off also!
Beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing. Also, nice tip with the hot glue.
That is one of the biggest and nicest rocks I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing.
Most beautiful I've ever seen. Amazing. Thanks much.
It’s hard to believe that something that beautiful is just a rock. It’s amazing.
Truly amazing, glad you tumbled whole. "That little whole, I'd like to crawl into if I fit" same!! I feel the same. Side bar, my mom loves sphalerite and likes to imagine every druzy pocket was a tiny apartment to some little creature
