Earth Rainbow Agate (Banded Agate)

Often called the earth rainbow, Banded Agate is a healing stone for body, mind, and spirit. It can increase concentration, honesty, and memory. Banded Agate also protects the wearer from psychic attack, thereby preventing negative energy from harming you. Physically, Banded Agate increases stamina, helps with digestive conditions and protects the body from harmful radiation from X-rays. Agate is formed with bands of microscopic quartz crystals. It is both a grounding and a spiritual stone, allowing for one to bring their spiritual experiences into their everyday reality. Agate is believed to improve mental functions and can help where issues of clarity and stability are concerned. Agate is also helpful in overcoming negative emotions by bringing love into the chakras. Although they work very slowly and deliberately, this gentle nature of Agate helps it to have a lasting impact.
