This gem is known as pink lace agate and is found in Indonesia. It is not to be confused with Crazy Lace agate. Yes they are both banded agates but Crazy Lace is mined in Mexico. It tends to be deeper colors with hues of brown, burnt orange, grey and yellow.
Pink Lace Agate origins
As indicated, this gem hails ONLY from Indonesia. Moreover It is a recent find and more rare than other agates. This agate is a banded agate. As shown above, this gem features hues of pink, yellow, white and other pale colors. I love that these gems also tend to feature Druzy pockets. Since it is a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, it can be made into cabochons and worn as rings or other types of jewelry. Another key point is that most believe it aligns with the heart chakra, similar to rose quartz.
I discovered this gem about a year ago. One of my Indonesian suppliers offered it and I was intrigued by the colors. I normally do not tend towards softer, pastel colors but this gem has become the exception in my collection. As I source more of these gems I offer them for sale in a few of my designs.
This particular pendant and earring set highlights the gorgeous pinks. I design in fine silver. This set is handmade by me in my Arizona Studio.
