The first stone that I got many years ago was a yellow agate. The stone disappeared for many years because I forgot the importance and was not able to feel the energy of stones for quite a while. It reappeared about 3 years ago when my interest in stones returned.
Agates are truly amazing stones because there are many different types. There are Banded Agates which are typically a light blue. These help to promote creative analysis and problem solving. They also promote creative expression of all types.
The Black Agate is black and brown in color and helps to connect our spiritual chi (life force) to our earthly chi. These stones help bring spiritual energy into our daily lives and help to ground us to the earth-plane.
Blue Lace Agates are blue/white in color and help to encourage self-expression and speaking out as well as validating our emotional truths.
Botswana Agate (also called Eye Agate) is brown/white in color and is a great meditation stone. It is also a psychic balancer, grounds psychic abilities and slows down visions for easier comprehension. Botswana Agates can also be pink/white in color and works on our heart to help heal old pains, heartaches and heart pain layer by layer.
Bull’s Eye Agate is black/white in color and grounds spiritually. It helps to manifest spiritually expanded awareness into our focused earth-plane.
Cathedral Agate is orange/white in color and is another good stone for meditation. This stone is the record keeper of the environments of the Earth.
Dendritic Agate is green/clear in color and helps to move energy from our outer bodies and chakras into the physical level. It helps to bring focus on Earth awareness and our service to the planet.
Leopardskin Agate is pink/tan in color and helps to protect the heart chakra by bringing spiritual energy into the heart center to heal heartaches and heartbreak. It also protects healers from burnout and from getting involved emotionally to those we heal. I always keep one of these in my pocket when I do a Reiki session because it helps me to not take on any negative energy from the person I’m helping.
Moss Agate is brown/green in color and actually looks like a light tan rock with moss growing on it. It helps to bring energy from our outer bodies and chakras in the physical level. What this means (since I mentioned this before) is that it better helps us to use the energy that is within us in a way that will better serve. This stone aids in incorporating out spirituality into our everyday lives.
Tree Agate is a white/grey-green stone which supports stewardship with the plant realms. I actually have a tree agate in my flower pot to help my Christmas cactus grow and prosper even in a room with no windows.
These are just a few of the agates available. There are about 15 other types available. Agates are very versatile stones and I continue to be amazed by the energy and healing properties that they provide.
