DID YOU KNOW

Resembling cross sections of psychedelic tree trunks, Agate is one of nature's most vibrant and creative designs.
Mostly formed in cavities of ancient lavas or other extrusive igneous rocks, Agate is a variety of chalcedony, formed from layers of quartz which follow the cavities outline; hence its uniquely banded appearance.
A popular choice for jewelry due to its varied appearance and relative hardness, agate ranges from transparent to opaque.

AGATE: A BRIEF HISTORY

It has been worked since prehistoric times, and was among the first lapidary materials.
Mentioned several times in the bible, it has been used in jewelry since Biblical Babylonian times, where it was thought to ward off storms and was a prized gem. It was also highly valued as a talisman or amulet and was said to quench thirst and protect against fever.

MEANING BEHIND THE STONE

Agates with banded colors are said to bring about rich and varied dreams if placed under your pillow at night.
Considered a protection stone, it is believed to attract strength and offer protection from bad dreams, stress and the draining of energy.
