Artist Inspiration: Blue Agate is symbolic with calmness. It also has great healing properties. It has been believed that the gemstone lessens negative energies or various stresses. It is said to release tension and to relax the body. I mixed the Agate stone with handcrafted Maya Blue pigmented epoxy and added different hues of blue glass beads.
History & Formation of ST: It was where the stone was discovered by a Greek naturalist sometime between 400 and 300 B.C. blue agate is a chalcedony, a member of the quartz family of minerals. Agate is formed as a nodule in volcanic rocks, lava or from filled veins or cracks in the volcanic rock. To achieve blue from other agates, iron pigment is used in the dye process. Agate is found in deposits all over the world, including Myanmar (Burma), Brazil, Uruguay, Botswana, India, Australia and the United States.
Care: Like other agates, blue agate can be cleaned with warm soapy water and a soft brush. Avoid exposure to household chemicals and extreme heat. Because of the hardness and durability of agate, it should be kept away from other gemstone and jewelry to prevent scratching softer materials.
