Going through a few of our items you will see a semi-common stone bead called “Agate”. Agate stones generally form within cavities inside volcanic rocks. The available colors can be white, grey, light blue, orange, red and black. Depending on how the actual agate bead is created from the raw stone there may be a sort of “banding” in the bead. This banding is created by a chemical reaction that happened long ago in layers as the stone was being created by nature.
The Agate beads we have today are cut in a variety of shapes and sizes from round to flat, oval to cubed and many in between. The agate beads can be extremely versatile and applicable in many jewelry designs due to its many colors and shapes.
There are some mystical properties give to agate stones that include its ability to heal both emotionally and physically, to give courage and to increase ones concentration.
