The agate is believed to have healing properties. It is used for stomach upsets. Place the agate on the solar plexus. The agate can't change emotions, but helps to change our level of acceptance of the emotion. Such as when you are very sad the agate will let you know that this will pass and help you get on to another and better day. This is why the Agate is considered so powerful as it gives us the strength to carry on. Always carry an agate when you have to make an important decision.
Agates are semi precious gemstones that are variegated form of chalcedony. Agate occurs in a wide array of colors, the most common is blue and green. It occurs in nodular masses in rocks such as volcanic lavas. When split open, they reveal an amazing variety of colors and patterns. This banding is what distinguishes agate from other types of chalcedony (the compact microcrystalline variety of quartz).
The agate is one of the oldest stones in recorded history and had been used in jewelry since Biblical Babylonian times. Probably the most famous place that agate is mined is Idar-Oberstein in Germany where it has been collected since 1548. Other locations to find agate are Uruguay, Brazil, United States, Mexico, Madagascar, Italy, Egypt, India, China, Scotland.
