The striped appearance
Blue lace agate is a banded form of chalcedony, recognized for delicate pale blue and white patterns. Bands may be fine, broad or curved across the surface. A broad pendant and a small rounded bead show different portions of that pattern, so actual photographs are more useful than a single color label.
What are the physical characteristics of Blue Lace Agate?
Blue Lace Agate is a type of chalcedony with a light blue color and delicate banding. It is often translucent and has a waxy luster.
Personal symbolism
In contemporary crystal symbolism, blue lace agate is associated with gentle communication. These are personal or cultural associations. Someone may choose a piece as a reminder of those values, without expecting the material to produce a physical or emotional effect.
Looking at a finished piece
Follow the direction and spacing of the bands when choosing a piece. A rounded bead and a broad pendant reveal the striped pattern in different ways.
Before choosing a piece
Read the stated material, dimensions and construction of the actual item. Keep the care directions for its setting, cord or other components as well as the stone. Store finished pieces so that they do not strike one another, and choose a stable location for decorative objects.
