what is Striped Agate?
The striped agatestone is a type of chalcedony that is characterized by its unique striped bands or patterns. It is a mineral composed of microscopic quartz crystals that have formed in layers over a long period of time. The stripes can vary in color and thickness, and their shape can be regular or irregular.
Striped agate stones are often used in jewelry because of their unique and attractive appearance. They are also attributed with metaphysical properties, such as protection and balance in times of stress or anxiety.
As for their physical properties, striped agate stones have a hardness of 6.5-7 on the Mohs scale, making them relatively durable and scratch resistant. They are found in several places in the world, such as Brazil, Uruguay and Mexico.
