Crazy Lace Agate Cabochon Rock Stone This is Crazy Lace Agate came from Mexico. Crazy Lace Agates are banded chalcedony (microcrystalline quartz) that are often infused with iron and aluminum. Creamy browns, blacks, grays and golds (and occasional pinks) swirl together creating complex patterns that make this a unique agate. Agate was highly valued as a talisman or amulet in ancient times. It was said to quench thirst and protect against fever. Persian magicians used agate to divert storms. Mithridates, king of Pontus, had a collection of thousands of agate bowls. Agate bowls were also popular in the Byzantine Empire. Collecting agate bowls became common among European royalty during the Renaissance and many museums in Europe, including the Louvre, have spectacular examples. The lovely cabochon is rectangle shaped. It is 27 mm by 28 mm and 4.5 mm thick. Metaphysical Properties: Crazy Lace is said to bring calmness, which leads to good luck.
