Mexican Lace Agate, sometimes called "Crazy Lace Agate," is a banded chalcedony found exclusively in Chihuahua, Mexico. Its bright colors come from an infusion of iron and aluminum. Crazy Lace Agate is believed to have been created during the Cretaceous Period, 60-90 million years ago, and although it is young by geologic standards, Crazy Lace Agate was used by some of the earliest cultures in Northern Mexico as a protective talisman for warriors.
