Blue Lace Agate

​What a beautiful stone blue lace agate is. Delicate light blue colour with its lacy white or light grey banding. But don’t be fooled by its almost ethereal appearance, blue lace agate has the power to calm, soothe and the ability to bring back balance.

 Although Agates vibrate at a slower frequency than other stones, they are highly regarded as a stabilising and strengthening influences.

The layered bands of microscopic quartz in Agate may appear delicate, they are actually very strong. Agate is excellent for balancing emotional, physical and intellectual energy, and in harmonising yin and yang.

Blue Lace Agate has a soft, soothing elegance. Its graceful, circular design has a stimulating, positive effect on emotions and attitude. It is not a stone of protection, but rather of encouragement and support. Its circular flowing energy calms, uplifts and elevates.

Relating to the throat chakra, blue lace agate can soothe sore throats aching, swollen glands in the neck, simply soak a tumble stone in water for eight hours, remove and gargle with the water.

Said to be good for thyroid problems, lowers fevers, removes blockages in the nervous system, good for arthritis and strengthens the skeletal system.

However, what I really love about this stone is its ability to bring peace and tranquillity to any situation. At this time of year the children are going back to school, everyone is going back to routine of work and home life and anxiety kicks in.

In our modern world we are all put under pressure, at work, in the home, the children at school. We are told to achieve, achieve, achieve. Be brilliant at work, fantastic homemakers, exercise and eat healthily, children are pressured to reach those goals the schools are targeting. But no one tells us how to find the time to fit all this in…result…..a big steaming, worn out mess on the floor! Well, not quite, but our stress levels are through the roof.

Blue Lace Agate to the rescue! This stone really calms the emotional mind. Holding in the palm of your hand helps to de stress, lay one on your desk or other work station and gaze at it when in stressful situations. In the home a blue lace agate surrounded by light blue candles can calm the atmosphere and reduce household or family quarrels.

Carry one in your pocket or wear round your neck if you have to give an important talk or have a meeting or interview where you need to get your point across but in a calm manner.

In fact I’ve given it to people who are going through nasty break ups or divorces to help communication flow easily and productively instead of spiralling into the destructive blame game and name calling, with brilliant results.

Blue lace agate’s energy is also gentle enough for children. Those who suffer from anxiety and panic attacks carrying the stone find peace and happiness. It helps bring self-worth and self-respect to the surface allowing the wearer to cope better with the goal orientated world we have brought them into.
So as everyone goes back to normal routine over the next few weeks, bring this crystal into your home and work place and allow its calming, soothing energy bring balance to your life, allow yourself to breeeeeathe…..relax and chill. After all it’s only about fourteen weeks to Christmas!!
