Rodeo Lace Agate

Had some additional chipping on some of the stones. The one with two bezel lines was a hard choice - use the bottom as top and have a less interesting pattern or keep the same top and take the stone inside of the template.

I chose the better pattern.

I worked this stone right after the Crazy Lace. In comparison it felt as soft as compressed clay. The 100grit wheel was very fast on this material.

The round came apart in an unclean break. Can't use the glue to fix it.
