Very beautiful with the blue and white lacy edging and surrounded by crystalline Quartz in the centres of the geodes and vugs. One with fluorescent Dog Tooth Calcite crystals in the geode. The rough crystalline material for these is picked by our good friend Colin in Malawi at the Blue Lace Agate mine and sent down to Gary in Harare to polish and make these in Zimbabwe. It then gets sent by bus from Zimbabwe to South Africa. It's often a long route to get some of these beauties to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRODUCT DESCRIPTION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlue Lace Agate is a banded variety of Chalcedony, a microcrystalline form of Quartz.
