Agate is a charming variety of chalcedony (general name for cryptocrystalline form of quartz). This stone is captivating for its dark banded lines. This piece is from Brazil.

The pink patterns are caused by a pink dye, which absorbed into individual agate layers. Interestingly, in the middle ages, people dyed agates with sugar or honey solutions.

Special conditions/ treatment: Do not expose dyed agate to direct sun and do not soak it in solutions. It may cause its colour to fade.

About the product: The bracelets are made from beads 4, 8 or 10 mm. The bracelets are sold either individually or in a package with 2, 3 or 5 pieces, but you can also choose a bulk package for a reduced price. The bracelets are 19 cm long.
