{"product_id":"crazy-lace-agate-sphere-b-natural-mexico","title":"Crazy lace agate sphere (B) — natural, Mexico","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA polished crazy lace agate sphere from Chihuahua, Mexico, banded in warm gold, grey, and brown with the tight, twisting swirls that give the stone its name. This is a banded chalcedony, the same quartz family as any agate, but crazy lace stands apart for its chaotic, folded banding rather than the neat concentric rings of most agates. Those patterns were laid down layer by layer as mineral-rich water seeped through gas pockets in ancient volcanic rock. Chihuahua is effectively the only place in the world it comes from.\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 5.71 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 250 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":57926230344024,"sku":null,"price":36.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/4880\/5720\/files\/mclas-a-6_1.jpg?v=1786217838","url":"https:\/\/thecrystalshowroom.com\/products\/crazy-lace-agate-sphere-b-natural-mexico","provider":"The Crystal Showroom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
