This pendant is made of Mexican Crazy Lace Agate and hand-wrapped in 12 gauge sterling silver wire.
Crazy lace is also known as Mexican agate and is a relatively young mineral, occurring in the Cretaceous period 65-90 million years ago in only one place in Mexico - Chihuahua. It is a type of chalcedony infused with iron and aluminum characterized by its intricate banded patterns and vivid colors - from browns, blacks and greys to golds and occasional reds -. The stone is also called the "laughter stone" or "happy lace" and is believed to bring joy and prevent the "evil eye." This stone increases inner stability, self-confidence, endurance, and focus. It was reportedly used as an amulet of protection and courage in battle, bearing the tribal energy of its native region.
