Most available Blue Lace Agate is too pale and opaque for therapeutic use. Gemisphere’s natural, untreated Blue Lace Agate has a high degree of translucency, rich color, and distinct bands of color for maximum therapeutic effectiveness. Therapeutic Quality Blue Lace Agate Therapeutic Blue Lace Agate has a rich, translucent lavender-blue color. When cut into spheres, it displays distinct and somewhat wavy bands that range from lavender to white in color. It has no patches or spots of black or other colors. Most important is that the spheres in a necklace are drilled so that the drill holes generally run perpendicular to the bands. All of Gemisphere’s Blue Lace Agate spheres are drilled this way. Most manufacturers drill Blue Lace Agate beads haphazardly. When worn as a necklace, this unevenly drilled Blue Lace Agate can disrupt the aura by scattering the wearer’s energies. These scattered energies are particularly stressful and irritating to the nervous and endocrine systems.
