Discovered in Namibia in the 1960s—a relatively recent find. Pale blue and white bands, layered with a fineness that resembles lace.
A variety of agate, formed by silica-bearing solutions depositing repeatedly within rock cavities. Layer upon layer, accumulating slowly, producing this fine banding.
Production remains extremely limited. In the history of gemstones, it is a newcomer—known to us for barely sixty years. Yet the stone itself was formed hundreds of millions of years ago. The Earth finished long before anyone noticed.
