Dyed Agate
Bright, bold agate in colours like pink, purple, blue and green. The dye picks out the natural bands and layers, so each piece shows rings and stripes in strong colour.
About dyed agate
This agate has been dyed. Agate is a banded form of chalcedony, a fine-grained quartz, and is slightly porous, so it takes up dye well. The colour sinks into the layers and shows off the natural banding.
Agate has long been linked in tradition with balance, stability and calm. Many people choose dyed agate by colour, following the traditional meanings given to each colour.
How people use it
Fun for children's collections, colourful displays, bowls and gifts. Easy to carry in a pocket, and handy for picking out a stone by its colour.
Care
The dye can fade in strong sun and may bleed if soaked, so keep out of bright light and avoid long soaks. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Crystal meanings describe tradition and belief, not medical advice.
