Banded Agate Slab (153mm)

Agate derives its name from the Achates River in Sicily, where it was initially discovered. It is a variety of chalcedony, a microcrystalline form of quartz (SiO₂), renowned for its striking bands of colour ranging from vibrant reds and greens to muted greys and whites. The textured bands form through layers of silica deposited in cavities of volcanic rocks, making each piece unique.

Emotionally, it soothes anxiety, encourages tranquility, and builds self-confidence. On a physical level, Agate is believed to enhance circulation, strengthen the immune system, and support digestive health. Mentally, it aids in clarity, focus, and improving analytical abilities, while spiritually it helps to ground energy and establish a deeper connection to the Earth. It’s gentle, stabilising energy nurtures inner peace and promotes personal growth.

Agate aligns with the root and sacral chakras, fostering safety, stability, and creativity. It resonates well with zodiac signs such as Gemini and Virgo, amplifying their natural strengths while balancing their challenges. The stone vibrates to the number 7, symbolising introspection and spiritual awakening. It carries a cosmic vibration linked to grounding energy and equilibrium. It is primarily linked to the Earth element, reflecting its grounding properties.
