The agate stone is found in a wide variety of colors and textures and is characterized mainly for being a soft stone, widely used in jewelry for harmony and balance. It is a semi-precious stone, microcrystalline, derived from quartz, so it usually has intermingled shades, which gives it a touch of mysticism that catches the eye and captivates the wearer.
There are different kinds of agate used in jewelry, here we will describe the most used ones.
Striped agate
It is the most commonly used variety and its main characteristic is the alternating color bands it presents. These bands can be of any color, but generally they are black, white, brown, red and blue. These agate stones are attributed with properties that promote peace and emotional stability; it is also used as an amulet to attract good luck, and improve self-esteem and concentration.
All this symbolism that has accumulated over the years gives it a special sentimental value.
Dendritic agate
Of the common kinds of agate, this is one of the most abundant and beautiful. It is a variety whose patterns resemble tree roots. These particular patterns are formed by the inclusion of minerals or rocks in the stone, such as iron oxide or manganese. These inclusions end up taking the form of plants, branches or mosses, which is why dendritic agate is said to be a mossy stone.
It is considered a cool stone that helps to improve the connection with nature.
Walled agate
It is a variety of agate crystal that has colored bands separated by white lines. The color bands are usually intense shades of green, blue or red. The internal pattern of this stone, forms lines that resemble peaks, very different from the traditional circles that are formed in other common kinds of agate.
It is widely used as a pendant, because of the belief that its energetic properties protect the heart as a shield.
Agate landscape
Its name derives from the patterns that it presents inside, resembling natural landscapes. These patterns are the result of inclusions in the formation process of agate from different minerals or rocks.
As you will see, agate is a fascinating stone full of unique details that seem to catch fragments of nature. Hence, its association with the spiritual world.
