This volcanic chalcedony mineral is formed by calcified tree trunk-like layers of fine uneven splintery quartz. Discovered and named between the 4th and 3rd centuries BC, Agate is one of the most common materials used in the art of hardstone carving. Its hardness and ability to resist acids make it the perfect material for mortars and pestles to crush and mix chemicals.

In medieval times, the wearing of Agate was said to bring God's favour and protection from all dangers, in addition to cure insomnia and promote pleasant dreams.

Amongst the generic physical healing properties, Agate is believed to benefit conditions related to the eyes, stomach, and uterus. The stone cleanses the lymphatic system and the pancreas; strengthens blood vessels and heals skin disorders.

Agate is an excellent stone for rebalancing and harmonizing body, mind, and spirit. It cleanses and stabilizes the aura, eliminating and transforming negativity. Agate enhances mental function, improving concentration, perception, and analytical abilities. It soothes and calms, healing inner anger or tension, and creates a sense of security and wellbeing.
