Lace is too broad of a term since there are so many, but normally when someone mentions "lace", they are talking about Mexican crazy lace.

Yeah, there are lace type agates from all over as the lace just refers to a general pattern. Crazy Lace usually refers to the Mexican material from Chihuahua and there are many subtypes within the Mexican Crazy Lace category ie: Zebra Lace, Laguna lace, Chinese Writing lace, Cactus Lace, Dogtooth Lace etc etc......Mel
