Natural Large Agate Slice #04

207g / 0.456lbs / 7.30oz 5.61" x 4.84" x 0.24" Agate is microcrystalline, meaning that the crystals are tiny, giving the mineral a smooth texture. It is a variety of chalcedony, a cryptocrystalline form of quartz. Agates contain bands of different colors, each containing small amounts of different materials such as manganese, iron, titanium, chromium, nickel, and other elements. Agates in general are known as stones of generally lower intensity and slower vibrational frequencies than some others, but this is not considered a defect. Rather they are regarded as stabilizing and strengthening influences which can help one to build a lasting connection or resonance with whatever energy pattern a particular variety represents. Agate is an excellent stone for rebalancing and harmonizing body, mind and spirit. It cleanses and stabilizes the aura, eliminating and transforming negativity. Agate enhances mental function, improving concentration, perception, and analytical abilities. It soothes and calms, healing inner anger or tension and creates a sense of security and safety.
