Crazy Lace Agate
(Mexico)
GEO 4415
Crazy Lace Agate truly lives up to it's name! The colors, crazy bright colors and patterns! There seems to be no end to the wild images that I see as I move the agate around under the lens. Just beautiful...
The numbers and types of agate is extensive. Because the colors and patterns found in agates are so varied and so characteristic for the respective localities, there is a confusingly large number of ever-changing varietal and trade names. Crazy Lace agate comes from the state of Chihuahua, in Mexico where the agate is embedded in limestone.
A tidbit of info ~ not all agates are banded; for instance fire agate and feather agates that are a variety of chalcedony but not agate. Agate is a variety of chalcedony.
? A question that I am often asked is how do you pronounce CHALCEDONY?
Answer: [ kal-sed-n-ee ]. ~ or like CAL-SAID-KNEE. Say it out loud... CAL-SAID-KNEE! Perfect.
Also found around Chihuahua, Mexico region are the DESERT ROSE
A gypsum rosette or desert rose is not a rose at all, it is a mineral which crystalizes in a unique rosette growth pattern. Desert rose is the colloquial name given to rose-like formations of crystal clusters of gypsum or baryte which include abundant sand grains.The 'petals' are crystals flattened on the c crystallographic axis, fanning open in radiating flattened crystal clusters. Gypsum is an evaporite, which means its crystals form during the evaporation of water. The crystals are shaped like prisms or flat plates, and can grow up to 1 meter. Gypsum can appear as transparent crystals (selenite); fibrous, elongated crystals (satin spar); granular and compact masses (alabaster); and in rosette-shaped aggregates called desert roses.
Some even form large clusters comprised of many small rosette crystals which are the color of sand and usually brown. In order for gypsum rosettes to form they must have an arid environment, a large source of CaSO4 (calcium sulfate), and a seasonal fluctuation of water. In terms of geological time gypsum rosettes form very rapidly in that they form in tens to hundreds of years. This would explain their abundance across the world.
The rosette crystal habit tends to occur when the crystals form in arid sandy conditions, such as the evaporation of a shallow salt basin. The crystals form a circular array of flat plates, giving the rock a shape similar to a rose blossom. Gypsum roses usually have better defined, sharper edges than baryte roses. Celestine and other bladed evaporite minerals may also form rosette clusters. They can appear either as a single rose-like bloom or as clusters of blooms, with most sizes ranging from pea sized to 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter.

Making use of stone that we personally collect, cut and polish to a mirror finish, coupled with high powered lenses, we transport the viewer into a microscopic world, far beyond what the naked eye perceives. The diversity, originality and beauty of what is revealed defy description. Those images are then transferred onto a variety of mediums. Consider textiles that are transformed into decor including decorative pillows, bedding, table linens, for both home and commercial use. And fabrics for the fashion world. GEO originals has opened the door to a realm of beauty crossing all genres with endless applications.
Choose your favorite(s) images, choose your fabric and let us know how many yards! We have a number of different fabrics available for selection - each is priced per yard. We will also provide additional custom order fabrics upon request (please contact GEO originals).
Samples are available.
With environmental consciousness in mind, our fabrics are all printed using completely water-based inks. This means no chemicals or solvents are used. Our heat fixing procedure fixes the colors and prints, avoiding the downsides of steaming, such as excess or contaminated water returning into the waste system. The textile industry is rife with sustainability problems: from the use of toxic inks and wasteful practices for materials and water, to a race to utilize the cheapest materials such as vinyl—no matter the environmental impact. Our print-on-demand process is designed to minimize fabric and ink waste. Reducing the use of materials, energy and water by choosing a pigment printing process instead of reactive dye.
