{"product_id":"crazy-lace-agate-hearts-35x15mm-individual","title":"Crazy Lace Agate Heart - 1.5 inch","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Crazy Lace Agate Heart carries cream, butter yellow, rust red, and pale grey in looping, swirling bands that double back on themselves across the surface. The banding follows no consistent direction, and where the cut crosses a tight loop the pattern coils into itself, which is where the name comes from. The polish is glassy and the colour boundaries are crisp. The Heart is compact and sits easily in a closed hand, with the pattern differing entirely from piece to piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrazy Lace Agate is traditionally associated with creativity and expression, with an unusually cheerful reputation in the trade, sometimes called the laughter stone. That same cheerful energy carries into a reading of energy and vitality. The pattern is the whole appeal, and it holds up at small sizes where subtler stones lose definition, which makes these a frequent gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Properties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrimary Focus: Creativity \u0026amp; Expression\u003cbr\u003eSecondary Focus: Energy \u0026amp; Vitality\u003cbr\u003eChakra Association: Sacral, Solar Plexus\u003cbr\u003eZodiac Sign: Gemini, Libra\u003cbr\u003eChinese Zodiac: Horse, Monkey\u003cbr\u003eRuling Planet: Mercury\u003cbr\u003eElements: Air, Fire\u003cbr\u003eMohs Hardness: 7\u003cbr\u003eStone Family: Tectosilicate\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Crazy Lace Agate\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: Mexico\u003cbr\u003eForm: Heart\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Polished\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Size: 37 mm (1.5 inches)\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Weight: 32-36 g\u003cbr\u003eListing:  Sold by Single unit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeological Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCrazy Lace Agate, sometimes sold as Mexican Agate or Happy Lace Agate, is a chalcedony variety of the quartz family, silicon dioxide crystallising in the trigonal system with a Mohs hardness of 7. Its defining feature is wild, irregular looping and swirling banding, produced by complex fluid movement during silica deposition rather than the orderly parallel layering that produces standard banded agate. The reds, yellows, creams, and greys come from iron oxide and mineral variation between successive depositional layers. The material is natural and requires no treatment. There is limited pre-colonial Mexican record for the material, which is primarily a twentieth-century commercial discovery. Chihuahua state in Mexico is almost the exclusive source.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuturaSol Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity.
