Blue Lace Agate is a variety of banded chalcedony, which is a microcrystalline form of quartz. It is characterised by its delicate, undulating layers of light blue, white, and sometimes grey bands, giving it a gentle, cloud-like appearance. This stone has a fine, waxy lustre when polished and its beautiful pale colour makes it a favourite for elegant jewellery designs.
