Agate

(en français)Chemical Formula :

SiO2 (silica and oxygen)
It is a Quartz criptocrystallin (micro crystals). That means that the structure of Agate comes from many small crystals cemented by silicate.

Hardness :

7 - 7.5

Colors :

Green, red, brown, blue, orange, purplish and more...
The Agate is a volcanic substance which crystallized with a multitude of forms and colors.

In certain cases, the Agate crystallizes by layers on layers, which create lines, sometimes strait, sometimes curved or rounds, mixing different colors or a single color.
If the silicate changes the chemical composition from time to time, it is that it can carry various quantities of dissolved metals (dyes) inside Agate in formation

Locality :

These materials are found in open area.

Origin :

The name Agate comes from the Achates river, to Sicily (nowadays Drillo) where the first stone was identified.

Physical and Spiritual Quality :

The agate gemstones are good in general for connection with the nature. All the agates are relaxing and lessen pressure and tention.
Several of the Agates awake the third eye chakra. The influence on the chakras depends on the color of the agate. The majority of Agates are good for problems of eyesight, especially in strengthening wick eyesight.

General energetic use: The Agate stones represent connection with the ground and the vegetable kingdom. All the Agate stones slacken and reduce the states of pressure and tension.

AGATE OF FIRE

The Agate of fire was created by the alternate deposit of the layers of hematite on chalcedony. Hematite (specular hematite) creates the color of an oxidation external caused by diffraction of light. Chalcedony (quartz crytocrytallin) is posed above hematite imprisoning the oxidized structure and protecting it. Can clearly appear brown, blue, gray, green and orange. It can contain thin layers of Limonite.The Agate of fire allows a major observation inside and by that connects itself to the inspiration. Very strong to make give up chronic fears or hidden fears (those whose we do not know really the reasons and the causes. Physically - assistance in the cases of imbalancehormonal. Very good to balance the nervous system and to clean blockings in the channels of energy (meridian). Can be employed for problems of sight: one can observe the improvement of the sight and the various insufficiencies of the eyes.
