Interesting Facts
George Swanson discovered blue lace agate on his farm, Ysterputs Farm, in Namibia, which was called South West Africa at the time. He coined the term "Gem of Ecology" for it because of the swirling blues and whites which resemble clouds above the Earth (the fragile blue marble) as seen from space. The best blue lace agate in the world still comes from the narrow seam on the Swanson's farm.

Sources of Blue Lace Agate
Main Source is Namibia, but also Kenya and South Africa

Metaphysical Properties

Agate is beneficial in self-analysis and uncovering hidden circumstances that might interfere with well-being. It promotes self-acceptance and confidence, encouraging the speaking of one's own truth. Agate overcomes negativity and bitterness of the heart, by healing anger, fostering love, and lending the courage to start over. It is useful for any kind of trauma.

Physical Healing

Blue Lace Agate is thought to relieve sore throats, aching or swollen glands in the neck, and may aid thyroid problems. It helps strengthen the skeletal structure, and is useful in treating arthritis and hereditary bone deformity, as well as the mending of breaks and fractures.

    Sara de Vos.  My love for crystals originated on a silent retreat next to the Orange River in 2002, where I picked up these very interesting stones (probably agates) I had no names for them but just knew they were pretty, they became my allies, I would hold them and look at them. I have been trading in Crystals since 2007 and since learned much more about crystals. I belong to the local Gem Society and "I Dig Rocks" in other words" I am a RockHound, and for all you other Rockhounds out there - you know the addiction! The Obsession! Well what more can I say, I will share with you various stone properties and also some on me and Connie's Crystal Stories.
