Agate is a banded form of finely-grained, microcrystalline Quartz. The lovely colour patterns and banding make this translucent gemstone very unique. Agates can have many distinctive styles and patterns, but each Agate is unique on its own habit, with no two Agates being the same. Agate cleanses and stabilises the aura, eliminating and transforming negativity. Agate enhances mental function and improves concentration. It soothes and calms, healing inner anger or tension and creates a sense of security and safety. It is the stone of prosperity, wealth, protection and good luck.
