Highly sought after by mineral collectors and jewelry artists, it features a distinct pattern of delicate, wavy bands of pale sky-blue and white that closely resemble fine lace fabric. Geologically, these beautiful layers formed over millions of years as silica-rich fluids slowly filled cavities in volcanic rock, and its signature natural pastel color is structurally caused by the Rayleigh scattering of light. While the benchmark, world-renowned source for this crystal is the Ysterputs Mine in Namibia smaller deposits also exist in countries like South Africa, Brazil, India, and the United States. Measuring a 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, it is durable enough for everyday jewelry making, such as earrings and pendants.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Mexico Stone Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47164358426678,"sku":"ag101","price":18.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0767\/9492\/1014\/files\/AG101-BLUE-LACE-PAIR-V001.jpg?v=1786729856","url":"https:\/\/nmstoneart.com\/products\/blue-lace-agate-pair-ag101","provider":"New Mexico Stone Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
