What is Blue Lace Agate?

Blue lace agate is a banded chalcedony with fine pale-blue and white bands that look like lace. The classic material was mined for decades in southern Namibia; supplies from that original deposit have become limited, so fine pieces are increasingly valued. Similar material is found in South Africa and Malawi.

Natural blue lace agate is always soft and pale – very bright blue agate is usually dyed.
