Origin: Namibia

Description: Blue Lace Agate is one of the most beloved varieties of chalcedony, treasured for its delicate banding in soft sky-blue tones laced with white and, at times, subtle hints of lilac. This rough material from Namibia is lapidary grade, making it well-suited for cutting, cabbing, or tumbling. Even in its raw state, the graceful layers are visible, showing intricate patterns that translate beautifully once polished. With a Mohs hardness of 6.5–7, it provides the durability needed for jewelry and decorative work while still offering ease of shaping for lapidary artists.

Namibia is world-renowned as the premier source of Blue Lace Agate, producing material with exceptional translucency and crisp banding. Once worked, this agate takes on a smooth, glossy polish that highlights its swirling blue-and-white ribbons, making it a favorite for pendants, cabochons, and display specimens. Each piece of rough stone offers the promise of transformation from natural raw beauty into refined lapidary art, carrying with it the distinct character of its African origin.
