Luna Moon, One of Mexico's great fine agates.
This slab has at least one very noticeable feature!

All ready had these pics taken so I thought I'd share a few.
I have not ever seen much of this deep red Crazy Lace Agate.
This is the largest and nicest piece of this variety of Crazy Lace Agate from Chihuahua, Mexico I have ever seen. I call it "Hema-Lace" because of the dark, rich red to black Hematite colors saturating this agate.
I cut several slabs and polished one side slightly. This is both sides of one slab. Close-ups of each side following the full view. And a big'ol'bwana pendant cabochon at the end. Smiley

That pendant is so beautiful! I LOVE the way you kept the vug and the whole shape. I love it.
And that beautiful luna agate is divine. I would love to see the big set of circles as its own pendant. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Joe! I hope you did as well.
It would be better if I could find some agate before the weekend is over.  Undecided

Well I certainly hope you did, Rebecca! Smiley

Here's a couple more cabochons I did out of those crazy Crazy Hema-Lace Agates.
You gotta love that red!

I was taking pictures of some more polished Luna Moon slabs and since you don't see this agate often I thought I'd add a few pictures here.
