Agate: a stone with unique patterns
Agate is an amazing mineral that forms in the voids of volcanic rocks, creating unique patterns and layers.
Its stripes are like a frozen chronicle of geological processes that occurred millions of years ago.
Each layer is colored in its own color depending on the conditions of formation, forming unique patterns similar to zigzags.
Some agates contain entire labyrinths of crystals, whose cavities are often filled with quartz, creating the impression of stones in stone.
The palette of agate amazes with its variety, from delicate blue shades to bright red and deep black tones.
This color spectrum is due to impurities such as iron and manganese.
In Ancient Egypt, agate was considered a massive amulet that protected from damage and brought health to its owner.
Later, the Romans used agate to create amulets, believing in its ability to attract luck and strength.
