Agate | Agate stone | types of agate | properties of agate stone | Agate healing properties

Agate was the second stone in the third row of the breastplate and is thought to represent the Aser tribe of the Israelites. The stone was associated with health, longevity, and wealth. It was brought to Palestine by merchants from places such as Babylonia, Persia, Saba, and Reema in their caravans (Ezekiel 27:22). Agate was considered to have medicinal powers into the Middle Ages, supposedly countering poisons, contagious diseases, and fever. Agate comes in various bright colors. Red agate was meant to improve eyesight.
Agate is a variety of chalcedony that exists in many colors and is often commercially dyed. Agate is distinguished by having multiple colors. While not usually as rich as our crystalline gems, the colors can be quite vivid. Agates are sometimes opaque, but they are frequently translucent, and occasionally completely transparent.
Physical Properties of Agate Stone:
Agate is a microcrystalline variety of quartz. Agates have distinct patterns or banding which distinguish them apart from chalcedony.
Chemical composition: Silicon dioxide.
Crystal structure: Trigonal.
Hardness: 7
Types include Fire Agate, Moss agate, Blue lace agate.
Benefits of wearing Agate Stone:
THE author of “Lithica” celebrates the merits of the agate in the following lines:37
Adorned with this, thou woman’s heart shall gain,
And by persuasion thy desire obtain;
And if of men thou aught demand, shalt come
With all thy wish fulfilled rejoicing home.
The agate possessed some wonderful virtues, for its wearer was guarded against all dangers, was enabled to vanquish all terrestrial obstacles, and was endowed with a bold heart; this latter prerogative was presumably the secret of his success. Some of these wonder-working agates were black with white veins, while others again were entirely white.
The wearing of agate ornaments was even believed to be a cure for insomnia and was thought to insure pleasant dreams. In spite of these supposed advantages, Cardano asserts that while wearing this stone he had many misfortunes which he could not trace to any fault or error of his own. He, therefore, abandoned its use; although he states that it made the wearer more prudent in his actions. Indeed, Cardano appears to have tested the talismanic worth of gems according to a plan of his own,-namely, by wearing them in turn and noting the degree of good or ill fortune he experienced. By this method, he apparently arrived at positive results based on actual experience, but he quite failed to appreciate the fact that no real connection of any kind existed between the stones and their supposed effects. In another treatise this author takes a somewhat more favorable view of the agate, and proclaims that all varieties render those who wear them “temperate, continent, and cautious; therefore they are all useful for acquiring riches.
About the middle of the past century, the demand for agate amulets was so great in the Soudan that the extensive agate-cutting establishments at Idar and Oberstein in Germany were almost exclusively busied with filling orders for this trade. Brown or black agates having a white ring in the center were chiefly used for the fabrication of these amulets, the white ring is regarded as a symbol of the eye. Hence the amulets were supposed to neutralize the power of the Evil Eye, or else to be emblematic of the watchfulness of a guardian spirit. The demand for these amulets has fallen off greatly, but when it was at its height single firms exported them to the value of 40,000 thalers ($30,000) annually, the total export amounting to hundreds of thousands of thalers. Even at present, a considerable trade in these objects is still carried on. That there is a fashion in amulets is shown by the fact that, while red, white, and green amulets are in demand on the west coast of Africa, only white stones are favored for this use in Northern Africa.
