Delicate, swirling bands give lace agate its name, and faceting this small freeform cabochon adds sparkle to its natural pattern. It measures about 19 by 13 millimeters, a good size for rings and small pendants.
Set it in a bezel, glue it to a ring blank, or wire wrap it into a pendant. Because the shape is freeform, each cabochon is truly one of a kind, which appeals to makers who want unique pieces. It also makes a lovely addition to a cabochon collection.
Agate is a translucent, banded variety of microcrystalline quartz, rated 7 on the Mohs scale. Its bands form as silica is deposited layer by layer inside a rock cavity. Agate is slightly porous, so it takes dye well, which is how most vividly colored agate carvings and decor pieces in the trade are made.
