Agate Crystals – Healing Properties, Zodiac Signs and Chakras

Agate crystals are one of the most diverse members of the chalcedony group. This stone may be the most common type used by ancient people. A kind of agate stone can be found all over the world. Although they look entirely different in colour and pattern due to their additional mineral content, their common feature is that they are based on silicon dioxide. Iron minerals mixed with silicon dioxide can give these stones orange, red, and brown tones depending on their density.

Ancient people used agate as an amulet to gain power against all evil. It has been used to cleanse and balance the body, the soul, and the mind. They have always carried it to ground the body and protect it from all physical damage, such as snakebites.

All agate stones have enormous energy, although they act slowly. These stones’ power is hidden in continuity; their benefit is in a complicated structure and doesn’t return and deteriorate. For example, an agate stone we use for physical balance repairs us so profoundly that our physical strength continuously increases. Our power does not decrease even when we are not carrying the stone.

Likewise, the level of awareness we have reached about life and ourselves in that all agates gradually increases, and our understanding continues even when we abandon the stone. Since there is continuity here, raising awareness and consciousness leads us to hidden information.

Botswana Agate, Fire Agate, Blue Lace Agate, Moss Agate, Dendritic Agate, and Carnelian are the most known and preferred agate types, but hybrid types exist. Benefits common to all agates can be considered for an agate type whose style is not fully defined. The benefits of general agate stones are outlined in the table below by chakras.

What should be considered in the table is choosing the chakra according to the colour that dominates the colour tones and patterns of the stone. For example, the solar plexus chakra should be considered first for a general agate stone with rich yellow colours. It should be deemed useful in the heart chakra for an available stone with rich pink colours.
