These are A-grade Blue Lace Agate tumbled stones from the Karas Region, Namibia, sold by the piece or by the pound. Blue lace agate is a banded chalcedony in pale sky blue with fine white lace-like layers. Each piece runs 1.25-2 inches at Mohs 6.5-7, bought directly at the source. A favorite stress relief stone for bedside tables.
Blue lace agate looks like someone drew soft blue clouds into layered stone. The bands run pale and gentle, rarely sharp, which is part of why people gravitate toward it when they need to slow down.
It is one of the most diverse and widely collected mineral groups, with dozens of named varieties based on color, pattern, and origin.
Hand-selected from ǁKaras Region, Namibia. Worth knowing: a lot of the blue lace agate on the market is dyed. What we carry is natural and untreated.
Blue lace agate is traditionally a stone for quiet, steady calm, working through difficult feelings at your own pace, and a simple anchor during practice. It's traditionally linked to the throat chakra. If that resonates, keep one in your pocket on days you know you'll need to speak up. Let it become part of your own quiet routine.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
Offered as a starting point for your own practice.
Blue Lace Agate sits at 6.5-7 on the Mohs scale, about as hard as glass, so it handles daily use but will scratch against harder stones. Keep chemical cleaners away from it; they can etch the surface.
Natural blue lace agate from ǁKaras Region, Namibia. Untreated. Color is natural, not dyed.
You'll receive pieces from the same batch photographed, weighed to the amount you choose. Every piece passes our quality control and meets or exceeds what you see in the photos. Single specimens are listed separately and say so.
Each piece measures 1.25 to 2 inches on its longest side and weighs 20 to 40 grams. About 16 to 24 pieces per pound at this size, and each option shows its piece count.
Grades reflect visual quality within a batch. A is standard, with typical inclusions. AA shows stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing. AAA is the top 10 to 15 percent of a batch. Every lot is inspected and graded by our team in Rockville, Maryland, not taken on the supplier’s word.
This batch is from ǁKaras Region, Namibia. It came to us through a direct source, one of the sourcing models we publish and stand behind.
Every lot is inspected and graded by our expert team before it is listed, not taken on the supplier's word. A on this listing means stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing than the batch average. Pieces that miss the mark never reach the shop.
How We GradeWe work directly with the mine or workshop, with no intermediaries in between. The relationship is personal, pricing is transparent, and we can speak to each batch. We say what we know and where our tracing stops.
Our Sourcing StandardsEverything we sell is natural in origin: never synthetic, never dyed, never coated. Where a stone has been heated, irradiated or stabilized, which is common in the trade for some species, we say so on the listing. If a piece is not as described, return it within 90 days of delivery.
