Agate is formed within cavities of volcanic rocks through a process of mineral deposition over time. As silica-rich water flows through these cavities, it gradually deposits layers of microcrystalline quartz, which give rise to the characteristic banded appearance. The colors and patterns in Agate can vary depending on the types of minerals present during the formation process.  Uruguay is known for producing high-quality Agate specimens, and the country has a rich history of Agate mining and craftsmanship.

Agate is renowned for its calming energies, making it a perfect addition to spaces meant for relaxation and rejuvenation. Placing Agate slices or decor in areas like bedrooms, meditation corners, or living spaces can help create an atmosphere of tranquility, fostering a sense of peace and balance.  Agate is said to promote emotional stability, enhance mental clarity, and encourage a positive outlook.
