🌚 What Is Black Agate
Black Agate is a deep, dark variety of chalcedony (SiO₂),
formed through millions of years of Earth’s natural mineralization.
Its color comes from organic materials and trace elements within the stone,
creating elegant layers, bands, and patterns unique to each piece.
True, fully black agate is rare in nature.
Most natural specimens show subtle bands of gray, dark brown, or charcoal.
This layered beauty reflects its symbolic meaning — strength through depth.
“Black Agate is the calm core beneath life’s shifting tides.”
