PRODUCT INFORMATION
General Description
Absolutely stunning crystalline Blue Lace Agate and Blue Chalcedony from Malawi. The material is bathed in acid for extended periods of time which removes the majority or all traces of matrix. Therefore, only pure Blue Lace Agate and/or Blue Chalcedony remains, often with Pyrite on the surfaces of the etched material. This is lovely material with stunningly complex features. A percentage of crystalline material also have Dog Tooth Calcite crystals in association. The removal of the matrix makes this material very light weight by halving the weight per kg of the matrix based specimens. The rough material comes from Nsanje, Malawi whilst the acid preparation is done locally in South Africa. We have recent had some concerning reports that the China have started to buy up all of the mining equipment and deposits in Malawi. Which could potentially result in either the deposits no longer being available out of Africa, or potentially a massive increase in the price per kg. Price is grade dependant.
