Agates have fascinated man for thousands of years and are now one of the worlds most popular gemstones. Perhaps part of this fascination lies in the fact that no two agates are ever exactly alike. The range of their colors, patterns and shape are almost endless. This variety is true of no other gemstone however rare or exclusive it is.
Agate stone is formed out of the pockets inside volcanic rocks or old lava flow when the crevices, nodules and cracks fill with deposits of silica over the ages. The stone itself is distinguished by impressive shades of natural colors and contrast in the band patterns it contains. The characteristic band patterns—which begin at the center of the rock and move outwards like the rings on a tree—are visually dynamic. Each band is made up of different compositions of minerals, which can often be identified by the various colors present.
Agate is a stone mysteriously linked to health and balance by meta-physicians who carry it to help calm the wearer. If you are prone to excessive worry or are in need of a talisman of strength, agate is a great choice for promoting wellbeing.
Benefits of agate:
- Balance

Polished Agate Gold Pendant
- GOLD-FILLED: 14K gold-filled is substantially durable and, when properly cared for, 14K gold-filled jewelry will stand up to being worn every day for a lifetime. This item is NOT gold plated or gold dipped vermeil jewelry, which can chip off over time with wear. Gold-filling is a process that involves pressure bonding multiple layers of solid 14k gold with extreme heat over a core of high quality jeweler's brass resulting in a durable, quality real gold product. It will never chip or flake off. It won’t tarnish and will not rub off or turn colors. Wearers who are sensitive to certain metals can wear gold filled without worries of an allergic reaction and, because of the materials involved, you can always be sure that 14K gold-fill is also a nickel free material.
- GEMSTONES: We only use genuine stones in our creations—we do not use lab created stones or any kind of glass-filled or dyed gemstones. They are nature made and therefore variations may occur in the stones cut and color, including having natural cracks and inclusions within the stone. All pieces are one of a kind. We photograph our jewelry in natural light and stones like opal, moonstone, and labradorite must be photographed at different angles in order to view their natural luster.
