{"product_id":"crazy-lace-agate-sphere-a-natural-mexico","title":"Crazy lace agate sphere (A) — natural, Mexico","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA polished crazy lace agate sphere from Chihuahua in northern Mexico, banded mainly in soft white and grey with only a touch of rust red, and a clear quartz section where the agate gave way to open crystal. Crazy lace agate is a banded chalcedony, a microcrystalline form of quartz; the quartz pocket here is the same silica, just grown coarsely enough to see, marking a space in the rock the fluid never fully filled. The lacework bands formed as silica-rich water seeped through cavities in volcanic rock over millions of years, and the quiet white-grey palette is entirely natural.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMineral:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crazy lace agate (chalcedony, SiO₂)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal system:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trigonal (microcrystalline)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chihuahua, Mexico\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale; durable and easy to handle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTreatment:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.14 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 310 g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acrylic stand included (not the stand shown in the photo)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll receive the exact piece photographed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Crystal Showroom","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57926183911768,"sku":null,"price":44.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/4880\/5720\/files\/mclas-a-9.jpg?v=1786216732","url":"https:\/\/thecrystalshowroom.com\/products\/crazy-lace-agate-sphere-a-natural-mexico","provider":"The Crystal Showroom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
