Crazy Lace Agate was formed over 65 million years ago during the Cretaceous period when the T-Rex roamed. Crazy Lace Agate is a banded form of Chalcedony, a cryptocrystalline Quartz with inclusions of Iron and Aluminium giving it, its wild colouring. The name refers to the white ‘lace’ patterns which are mixed with a variety of red, orange, yellow, brown, grey, and black. Crazy Lace Agate is only found in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico.

Buyer’s Guide to Crazy Lace Agate
Private Buyers
Pattern and colour are key when it comes to buying Crazy Lace Agate. Seek out funky, yellows, browns and reds mixed with some greys and whites. If you get lucky you may find a piece with a vug (cavity) filled with druzy Quartz crystals. My personal favourite is the yellow, grey and white variety.
Crazy Lace Agate looks best in its polished form so you can appreciate its beautiful patternation to the fullest. Towers, spheres, skulls, palm stones, and freeform carvings always look lovely. It can look cool as raw chunks too but that is often more difficult to source.
Retail Buyers
If you are buying for retail then tumbles and towers seem to sell the best for this variety of crystal. If you can find pieces with druzy Quartz filled vugs then they will generally sell first. If you are buying from a carving centre in China make sure you ask them to check the pieces for damage and that any towers have the tips protected and double check that they stand straight - no leaning tower of Pisa crystal towers! Take into account though that Crazy Lace Agate comes from Mexico, so if you are trying to “ethically source,” then having them come to you via China is adding a lot of carbon emissions/fuel miles to the piece.
