Agate Healing properties
Agate is an excellent stone for those seeking to manifest their dreams and goals. It can help you feel more connected with your inner-strength, power and purpose. Agate is the best healing crystal to bring about a state of inner peace through meditation. The sound of silence creates more space between thoughts, allowing one to focus on whatever task at hand without worry. The calming energies make it an excellent crystal that brings balance into our lives when we feel scattered or ungrounded.
What is Agate?
Agate comes in many different colours and patterns depending on the variety of the crystal. Agate is typically waxy and soft, usually banded, and sometimes translucent with tiny crystals. The stones' multiple layers can bring hidden information to light. The most common structure of Agate is alternating layers of quartz and chalcedony.
Agate is known for its ability to aid with grounding. Agate works by centring and stabilising your energy, bringing you an emotional, physical and intellectual balance. Agate can also help to cleanse and stabilise the aura as it is a supportive stone that can bring courage and strength in times of need.
Where Is Agate From?
Agate is found in various locations, including the United States, India, Morocco, the Czech Republic, Brazil and Africa. We source from different locations but most commonly Brazil depending on the type of Agate.
Agate is formed in igneous or metamorphic rocks and is typically found inside the cavities. Agate does not form simultaneously with the rock; instead, the gem forms inside once the rock has formed.
When water with a high silica concentration flows into the cavities, it turns into a semi-solid form of silica gel, which deposits itself on the cavity walls. The water eventually evaporates or seeps out, and the silica gel is left crystallised on the walls. Over the years, new silica gel layers enter the cavity and build onto the previous layers, which is how Agate gets its beautiful banding.
