Read our Sourcing Standards →Agate is a chalcedony (quartz variety). It is one of the most diverse and widely collected mineral groups, with dozens of named varieties based on color, pattern, and origin.
These geodes come from Minas Gerais, Brazil. Worth knowing: a lot of the agate on the market is dyed. What we carry is natural and untreated.
Agate is traditionally a stone for staying connected to your body and the moment, a sense of groundedness when things feel uncertain, and gentle, patient care for yourself. It's traditionally linked to the root and sacral chakras. If that resonates, keep a piece in your pocket during the day for a steadying presence. Let it become part of your own quiet routine.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
A starting place for your own quiet practice.
