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.

One doesn't have to be a "stone lover" to recognize beauty. Very nice!

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.

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.
