When it comes to stones and crystals, the meaning of Agate refers to numerous varieties of banded chalcedony, a mineral of the quartz family. Agate stones were found in ancient times along the river Achetes in Sicily, Italy, which gave the name to the gemstone. In metaphysical terms, agate stones eliminate and transform negative energy. They are extremely cleansing, both physically and emotionally. In general, agate stones ground, soothe and balance one’s energy. Agates are also generally known for their lower intensity and slower vibrational frequencies than other gemstones. Their stabilizing and strengthening influences can help one to build a lasting connection or resonance with whatever energy pattern a particular variety represents.

An agate crystal or stone can form in various colors, including white, gray, blue, green, pink, and brown. Though all agate stones are banded chalcedony, Blue Lace Agate is unique to Ysterputs, a mine in Namibia, South Africa. Blue Lace Agate has also been found in Romania, Brazil, China, India, and the United States. The formation of Blue Lace Agate is unlike that of other agates, as it forms through horizontal banding rather than vertical banding.

The color of Blue Lace Agate results from ‘Rayleigh scattering.’ We see the hue blue because of a quantum interaction between atoms that scatters light, which causes it to appear that way. When photons (light) strike a piece of Blue Lace Agate, the light causes atoms to align in a specific manner that ‘sends out’ blue light in the direction of our eyes. Therefore, Blue Lace Agate’s blue hue will not fade over time. This natural effect differentiates Blue Lace Agate from other agate stones that may contain pigment or have been dyed.
