POLISHED RED SASHE RIVER AGATE NODULE - GROUNDING

The Agate nodules from the Sashe River are renowned for rich blue and pink colours with some pieces having crystalline centres. The Agate from this region is 100% natural in colour and no treatment of any nature is used to enhance the colouration. The nodules also tend to have complex banded and stunning patterns with occasional white to cream coloured layers in some instances. This is a fairly rare material which is not often worked. The polishing is done locally by top quality Zimbabwean lapidaries and is one of the few products still being polished in the region. Excellent quality material.

These stones were found by the Ancient Greek philosopher Theophrastus. At the time, Agates were considered to be a priceless discovery. They were said to ward off all kinds of evil, to heal scorpion stings and snakebites, to calm raging storms, and to bring victory in times of war. From Islam to the Egyptians, the world turned to the healing and protective properties Of Agate. Persian Magicians would use these stones to control the thunder and lightning that danced across the sky. In Chinese medicine, Agate was used to stir up one's own chi. Even now, in our modern world, Agate has not lost its sense of power, today we turn to these stones to help us ease our anxieties and to keep our emotions beautifully balanced so we can flourish in all our earthly wonder. Agate comes in every colour of the rainbow and each version of this bright and banded chalcedony brings its own unique potency and powers to the table. All Agate's hum at a soft and low vibration, making them an amazing stone for keeping you gloriously grounded.
