"It is also recognized as a stone of potential, so it’s just as high in uses for those of us still living in the material world.
"It activates ideas, enriches your sense of inspiration and is almost hypnotic to look at – solid black, yet capturing the light in simple, elegant ways.
"Of course, this is just one of the many Agate colors, but oftentimes the stone has common values and properties that make any choice of color the right one.
"It’s a very protective stone that can ward off any kind of harm or negative energy. Keep it inside your purse or slip it in your pocket whenever and wherever.
"The beauty of this is that this stone cannot help but calm and inspire you, even if you do not fully understand the overall Agate meaning and what it can offer you.
"Likewise, anyone who is a skeptic of New Age healing or similar spiritual practices can similarly benefit from having an Agate stone close at hand for good luck.
"It will bestow its blessings upon yourself and your nearest and dearest even without any direct belief, faith or encouragement.
"The immediate beauty of Agate stones, together with their cost effectiveness and how easily a skilled craftsman or woman can shape the rock, makes it a popular gift.
"Therefore, you might be encouraged to find that you can help someone you love obtain the benefits of Agate and its influence, without insisting they follow this world view.
"Simply offer Agate in the form of jewelry, stitched as a sequin into clothing, or via an otherwise thoughtful handmade gift, to really convey its positive energies to anyone of your choosing.
"While those not inclined towards these matters may not thank you directly, you may well find that he or she enjoys a sudden upswing in good health, relaxed outlooks and overall peace of mind!"
