Crazy Lace Agate is known as the Laughter Stone or "Happy Lace." It is associated with sunny Mexican fiestas and dancing, and is said to bring joy to those who wear it. It is not a stone of protection, but rather of support and encouragement, elevating thoughts and promoting optimism. Its graceful design, with random lacy patterns, is said to create a circular flow of energy that stimulates the mind and attitude.
Crazy Lace Agate is a variety of banded Chalcedony, a mineral of the Quartz family. It is predominantly white, with layers of creamy browns, blacks and grays. Some may include layers of yellow ochre, gold, scarlet and red. Agate is sometimes called the earth rainbow because, in its various forms, the concentric bands in nature form nearly every color the earth can produce, including a colorless form.
