CRAZY LACE AGATE

Crazy Lace Agate is young in comparison to many other minerals on Earth. Found exclusively within the area known as Chihuahua, in Northern Mexico, this lacy agate is known not only for its stunning banded patterns, but its powerful healing energies as well. Crazy Lace Agate is believed to have been created in the cretaceous period, about 65-90 million years ago. It is a banded Chalcedony (microcrystalline quartz) that's infused with iron and aluminium and is often brightly coloured and complexly patterned. This produces the creamy browns, blacks, greys and golds (and occasional pinks or reds) swirled together in this stone. This stone is found exclusively within the area known as Chihuahua, in Northern Mexico. Since it's only found in Mexico, Crazy Lace Agate (also known as Mexican Agate) retains much of the energy of that area, in particular the tribal energies from ancient cultures that are still surrounded in mystery. There is evidence this agate was worn as an amulet by the earliest inhabitants of Mexico for endurance and courage in battle. 
Similar to other agates and silica rocks, Crazy Lace Agate is a good general healing stone. Crazy Lace Agate is commonly referred to as the "laughter stone," or "happy lace." It's a balancing and protecting stone, believed to ward off the "evil eye," bringing joy and absorbing emotional pain. 
Crazy Lace Agate helps to increase one's energy and encourage concentration so that one can stay on task and complete goals much easier. This stone's help with focusing makes it a great stone for those with ADHD. It is said this stone promotes inner stability, composure and maturity and its warm protective properties encourage security and self-confidence.
