Blue Lace Agate

Q: What is Blue Lace Agate made of?

Blue Lace Agate has the chemical formula SiO₂ (microcrystalline quartz), crystallises in the trigonal (banded chalcedony) system and measures 6.5 – 7 (Mohs) on the Mohs scale. Blue lace agate is a rare fibrous chalcedony banded in pale blue and white by rhythmic silica precipitation in volcanic host rock. The finest and only significant commercial deposit is at Ysterputs Farm in the Karas region of southern Namibia, discovered in the 1960s and worked intermittently since. Smaller occurrences appear in Malawi and Brazil but rarely match the delicacy of the Namibian material.
