{"product_id":"crazy-lace-agate-sphere-c-natural-mexico","title":"Crazy lace agate sphere (C) — natural, Mexico","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA polished crazy lace agate sphere from Chihuahua, Mexico, patterned with looping bands of ochre, white, and soft grey. Agate is chalcedony, a form of quartz so fine-grained the crystals are invisible to the eye, and crazy lace is its most exuberant variety. The warm earthy palette here is entirely natural, coloured by iron and manganese present when the silica settled; the bright blues and pinks sometimes sold as crazy lace are dyed, but this piece keeps the tones the stone forms with.\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 5.45 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 220 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":57926256066904,"sku":null,"price":31.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/4880\/5720\/files\/mclas-c-6.jpg?v=1786218969","url":"https:\/\/thecrystalshowroom.com\/products\/crazy-lace-agate-sphere-c-natural-mexico","provider":"The Crystal Showroom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
