Blue Lace Agate Ysterputz Mine Namibia
Blue lace agate from the Ysterputz mine farm 254, Karasburg West Southern Namibia. Sadly the mine is now closed and has been since about 2012.
An attractive stone characterised by its subtle blue and white wavy bands, blue lace agate is a rare variety of the mineral chalcedony. With the vein in Namibia no longer being mined, the only countries where material can be found is Malawi and Zambia. Many would argue that stone from Ysterputz was by far the best in terms of colour and the finish after having been polished.
Stone from this location is now highly sought after and extremely difficult to find. Our persistence finally paid off and we have managed to find a small amount from one of our suppliers in South Africa. Having bought stone directly from George Swanson the long term owner of the mine, our supplier cut it down and lightly polished each piece.
The stones that we now have in our collection are really quite special. It's highly unlikely that we'll be able to find blue lace agate from Namibia again.
