Crazy Lace Agate is a microcrystalline variety of quartz, mainly mined in Mexico in volcanic mine conditions. These conditions allow the formation of this crystal between layers of ash and rock, where silica-rich fluids seep into cavities in the volcanic rock causing the banding pattern shown in crazy lace agate. Amongst the silica, there are also small traces of other minerals such as aluminium hydroxide and iron hydroxide.
