Read our Sourcing Standards →Patagonia Agate is a chalcedony (quartz variety).
Sourced directly from Río Negro Province, Argentina. Worth knowing: a lot of the patagonia agate on the market is dyed. What we carry is natural and untreated.
It is one of the most diverse and widely collected mineral groups, with dozens of named varieties based on color, pattern, and origin.
Patagonia agate has long been used in practices around 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, set one on the floor near where you sit to read or work. There's no single right way to carry it.
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.
