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.

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~

Rather than thumbs down why not suggest how he could have done better and affording others to learn from this example.
