Agate is a banded variety of chalcedony, a microcrystalline form of quartz. It forms when silica rich fluids fill gas cavities within volcanic rock, slowly building up layered bands of colour as the mineral deposits over long periods of time.
Agate is good for:
Grounding
Supporting emotional stability
Encouraging strength and resilience
Bringing balance
Easing stress
Pairs well with: Clear Quartz and Smokey Quartz, for a grounded, balancing combination.
Every crystal is one of a kind. As a natural formation, your agate may include unique inclusions, colour variations, or markings. These aren't flaws. They're what make each piece truly one of a kind.
