History and folklore
Blue lace agate is a newer stone in the witch's cabinet, popularized after significant deposits were found in Namibia in the twentieth century. Agates in general have deep folklore roots: ancient peoples wore them for protection and calm, and Greek writers mentioned them as stones that soothed thirst and fever. Modern practitioners tie blue lace agate's soft sky color to the throat and air, using it for calm, gentle words and a quieter, more peaceful mind.
