How and where is blue lace agate formed?

It is said that the Greek philosopher Theophrastus gave agate its name when he discovered a piece of it in the Achates River. "Blue lace" refers to the circular lace-like banding that this crystal is known and loved for.

A variety of microcrystalline Quartz, agate typically forms as nodules or geodes in igneous rocks. Bands of agate occur when an empty pocket or hole inside a porous rock fills layer by layer and the molecules begin to crystallise. Varying pressure, temperature and mineral content determine colour and banding patterns.

Sources of agate around the world include Africa, the Unites States, India, Morocco, Czech Republic and Brazil.
