Description

Pink Banded Agate

A common Silica Mineral – salmon pink with white, grey or orange

Agates are formations made of Chalcedony and Quartz, normally sporting layers of varying colours across their formations. They are the result of Silica-rich ground water seeping into the cavities in igneous volcanic rock, transporting minerals that harden in layers over the course of many years. The unpredictable nature of how these stones are formed creates concentric banding and colour unique to each deposit, adding a ‘personal’ characteristic to jewellery.

Agates are commonly used to treat problems with eyesight, hair and hearing. They are also used to alleviate stress – particularly encouraging restful sleep and pleasant dreams.
