Earrings: Blue Lace Agate with Swarovski Crystal on Silver Wire
Rock Lore & Tidbits: George Swanson discovered blue lace agate on his farm, Ysterputs Farm, in Namibia, which was called South West Africa at the time. He coined the term “Gem of Ecology” for it because of the swirling blues and whites which resemble clouds above the Earth (the fragile blue marble) as seen from space. The best blue lace agate in the world still comes from the narrow seam on George’s farm.
Blue lace agate is a gentle, calming stone that engenders tranquility. Blue lace agate brings with this calm and tranquility a lessening of anger, even deep anger issues, and a calming of nervousness. It can help bring stronger intuition and inner knowing. Inspiration is another hallmark of blue lace agate and is considered a stone of communication. As with all agates, Blue lace agate is a protective stone. Its protective energies are more gentle and subtle than some stones. In the crystal healing realm, blue lace agate has been used to aid with arthritis, headaches, colic, digestive issues, growth, throat, skin especially eczema, and bones.
