Blue Lace Agate

Blue Lace Agate is a beautiful cryptocrystalline quartz stone. Agate is a form of chalcedony, usually banded and at least partly translucent. Agates are found as nodules or geodes in siliceous volcanic rocks.

This agate was hidden for over 50 million years in the quiet isolation of the southwestern African desert and was first uncovered in the early 1960's by an American prospector, George Swanson, in the Kalahari desert of Namibia. This particular area is believed to be the only known deposit in the world of this material. It is pale blue, almost lavender, agate with white lace filaments that run through the stone.

Metaphysical Properties: Blue Lace Agate is said to give one confidence to stand up and speak. It also enhances loyalty and trust.
