The name Blue Lace Agate comes from the beautiful white lines that cut across the sky blue stone and create a lace-like pattern. Blue Lace Agate is one of the rarest crystals on the planet because it is only found in one mine in Namibia. It was discovered in 1962 by American prospector George Swanson and was mined by hand until 1977. Subsequently, the mine closed in 2016. The blue hue of Blue Lace Agate depends on the depth from which the stone was mined. In general, the deeper the mine, the bluer the stone. Only about 30 percent of mined pieces of Blue Lace Agate weigh more than 1 kilogram, so large pieces of this crystal are very rare.
