THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF AGATES

Agates are a prime example that God/Universe is an artist. Their mesmerizing banded patterns and beautiful polish finish make them a well sought after stone from before 3000 B.C. Agate is a banded chalcedony that belongs in the Quartz family. What is a chalcedony, you ask? Chalcedony is a mineral made up of colored and sometimes patterned Quartz grains. Chalcedony is differentiated from common Quartz because of it’s naturally threaded grains opposed to regular quartz with a sugar-like grain. Neither of the Quartz hold less or more energy, they are just different in how they form.


Agates are found all over the world but today Brazil is the mining location that produces the most sources. Visit Tehechi Finds Mining Locations section to know exactly where our crystals are mined. Agates were originally founded in Sicily and are named after the Achetes River. The unique agate patterns are a result of iron, manganese, titanium, and nickel traces found in the stones.


What healing properties do Agates possess?


Although Agates don’t necessarily hold less energy, the energy of agates tends to be slower and more stabilized than other crystals. In this case, slow and steady wins the race due to agate’s ability to create stabilization by helping to balance polarities in any given Agate. Agates bring forth both Yin and Yang benefits to promote healing that allows you to feel whole. Agates are used in spiritual practice for gradual growth and longevity and are recommended to be worn more frequently for longer effects over time. Tehechi Finds LLC has a variety of marvelous Agates available in the shop tab each with their own unique healing properties - let’s go through them together.

Blue Lace Agate


Blue lace agate is predominantly used to heal the throat chakra because of the courage it gives you to speak your truth. This agate is banded in the intricate patterns of light blue and white and depending on where they are formed, they may include druzy compartments. Blue lace agate helps you follow the agreements, “is it calm, is it truthful, is it necessary,” when responding and listening to the truth of others.

The crystalline lineage is innately special but Agates shine a bright light on how special they can be! It’s no surprise that I’m not the only crystal lover that feels this way about agates.
