Crazy Lace Agates
Sierra Santa Lucia, Ejido Benito Juarez, Chihuahau, Mexico
 .
     The Crazy Lace Agates may be one of most well-known agates coming from a main mining site surrounded by many smaller claims (different lace names)  in Mexico for they are widely used in many lapidary arts. The name "Crazy Lace" refers to the irregular and geometric patterns resulting from agates encrusting and later replacing the large calcite crystals lining the fissures within the limestone formations. Since the miners tend to break up the Crazy Lace agate veins into clunks with explosives and heavy tools, any agates with whole patterns are somewhat scarce. The most common colors are red, yellow, white, gray and black, but they can come in a wide spectrum of colors (I have yet to see purple ones).
