Agate Geode

Agate's most noticeable properties overall are balancing yin/yang energy, courage, protection, healing, and calming. Historically it was placed in water for cooking or drinking to dispel sickness. The Metaphysical and Healing Properties Lore of any specific type of agate depend to some extent on the color of the agate, but all agates have certain things in common.

Agate is a stone of strength. It was used by the Ancients on the breastplates of armor to give warriors strength and make them victorious in battle. Energetically, it is considered to give strength in both battle and physically.

Agate enhances creativity and strengthens the intellect, making it a beneficial stone for both students and artists. It is also known as a good luck stone. As a stone of harmony, one of the things agate does is balance yin/yang energy. Agate increases energy. However, because it is a grounding stone, it does not increase energy at all times, but rather enables bursts of energy as needed. In this way, agate is a conservation stone, and enhances longevity.

Agate is a very protective stone. It is especially protective for children, and makes an excellent stone for children's amulets, medicine bags, jewelry, or just to carry around in a pocket. Agates are said to be especially useful for protecting children from falling.

Emotionally, agate gives courage, emotional strength, self-confidence, and dispels fears. It can also lessen feelings of envy by grounding the emotions. In the same way, it assists with acceptance of all things. It can be very beneficial for self-examination as well as examination of the circumstances one finds oneself in. These qualities make agate superior for easing anxiety and stress. Plume agates are especially helpful for anxiety and stress relief. Particularly when placed on the Solar Plexus (3rd) Chakra it can help one to accept one's emotions, thereby helping overcome those emotions that one wants to remove.

Interesting Facts

A geode begins as a bubble in volcanic rock or a hollow in sedimentary rock. The outer shell of the bubble or hollow will eventually harden, and water forms on the inside of the cavity. The water contains silica precipitation that contains a variety of dissolved minerals.

These hollows remain full with mineral rich water or get filled again if the water table rises. This water then with the constant drying out then re-depositing of mineral water forms the crystalline structures over a very long period of time. Another way these crystals form is through a leaching process. As the mineral rich ground water permeates the hollow, it begins to form the chalcedony shell through silica deposits. After continual permeation the remaining deposits eventually form hexagons shaped crystals and entirely fill the hollow if allowed to grow. On occasion some geodes that are completely filled have an inner layer of agate surrounded by the hexagon crystals. This is thought caused by a silica gel that got through the chalcedony and later dried.
