Agate slices come in a variety of vibrant and beautiful colours and are the easiest and most impressive way to show off remarkable stone. When agate is thinly sliced the result is that it glows with colour. Believed to bring harmony, these wonderful Agate Slices have been historically used for protection and to balance opposing energies.
How Agate Slices are Formed
As far as chemical structure goes, agate is identical to jasper, flint, chert, petrified wood, and tiger’s-eye. The banding within an agate slice is formed as silica from solution is slowly deposited into cavities and veins in older rock. The agate stones can then be artificially stained to produce brighter colours of those found in the natural stone.
