Agate Jewelry

Agate jewelry covers a vast range of colors and patterns. With more than 100 named types of agate, you'll find plenty of stunning jewelleries to choose from.

Agate is actually a type of chalcedony. The stone often includes fossilized materials, like gorgeous dendritic agate, which contains plant matter that looks like leaves or trees in the stone. Moss agate, perhaps the moss popular form of the gemstone, features inclusions of horneblende, a mineral that ranges from brown to green.

Many agate gems are reddish orange to bright orange. You'll often find agate jewelleries set with  gorgeous peridot, amber, carnelian and other gemstones.

Many women love blue lace agate jewelry. This gemstone is a baby blue with bands of white to slightly light blue. Other banded agates range in color from brown to red-orange.

Awesome eye agate jewelry is extremely rare, but incredibly beautiful. Bands in this agate are perfect circles, creating an "eye." Another very rare gem is fire agate, which has bands that are iridescent, usually gold.

Some of the best agate jewelry is from Borneo and called Kalimantan agate. These gems feature gorgeous bands in orange, gold and brownish colors.

Agate is the birth stone for May and June, and the talismanic stone for the zodiac sign of Taurus. According to folklore, agate jewelry helps the wearer be open to acceptance and heals stomach ailments.
