Agate: a Grounding Stone for Inner Journeys

History Lesson: Did you know that Agate comes in many forms and is one of the oldest gemstones referenced in the Bible and other religious texts? For centuries, Agate has been cherished for its healing and protective properties. Agates were worn by warriors in battle as a protection stone and legend tells us that agate was a feature stone in the breastplate of the High Priest.

Looking at an Agate up close you might assume that it is delicate due to the many tiny thin layering bands in the stone. But that actually gives it its amazing strength! Agate is a very hard, strong stone that reminds us of our own strength.

 

Think about all the experiences, or layers, that have shaped you. While on the surface you could appear dainty and delicate … your layers have built you up over the years to be strong and resilient!

Agates are loved for their grounding properties, which help to keep us present and rooted in gratitude for the things in our life which nurture us at our most basic levels. Because agate keeps us grounded at this low, comforting vibration, we are then able to think lofty thoughts and look to the knowledge that lives inside of us. Agate helps us to create a reality full of intention. Agates also come in a wide variety of colors and types which each offer a unique energy of their own, so there’s definitely an agate out there just for you!

Royal Botswana Agate

Botswana Agate is the royalty of agates, because it is so beautiful and hard to come by! This rare stone is found mainly in the Bobonong district of Botswana, and you would be hard-pressed to find it elsewhere, making it prized for its scarcity.

All agates are chalcedony stones, which are formed when slow moving lava lays itself over already existing layers of stone, resulting in the beautiful bands of silica and quartz we all look for in Agates. Botswana Agate offers a beautiful display of banding and includes stones that are both opaque and translucent, with impressive layers of colors ranging from peachy pinks to moody grey and brown. Botswana Agate sits at 6 ½ - 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it a fairly durable stone.
