Origin of Green Agate

Green Agate is a translucent green stone, with a hardness of 6, in which circular movements can be distinguished. Green Agate should not be confused with moss agate or tree agate.

Agate is a variety of quartz formed by the crystallization of lava. It owes its name to a river in Sicily, the Achates, in which it was found in abundance. Agate is hidden all over the world: North and South America, Madagascar and China are places where we find important deposits. Nowadays, mining of Agate takes place mainly in Brazil in the Rio Grande Do Sul, in Uruguay and in the volcanic deposit of Mont Lyall in Quebec.

Green Agate is a stone that has accompanied civilizations since antiquity. It was particularly widely used by the Egyptians and the Romans who used it a lot to create jewellery (the ring and earrings in particular), and decorative objects.

More than an ornamental stone, the Green Agate is a stone with many virtues. Although we find Agates of all colours (blue, red, yellow agate …), the properties of the stone remain essentially the same. The colour, however, allows you to work on different chakras and resonates with particular astrological signs. Be careful, however, of the many artificially tinted agates. 

The benefits that we discuss in the rest of this article can be considered, in general, for all Agates. However, it is important to keep in mind that the colour green brings additional and different properties.

Cleaning, purification and recharging of your Green Agate

Although stones still vibrate the same way (unlike us), they still need to be cleansed and purified. Indeed, in contact with our energies, they charge and lose their strength if they are too encumbered.

Thus, to promote the action of Green Agate on your physical and mental body, it will have to be cleaned of negative energies with salted distilled water or exposed to lunar light during a full moon, for example. To purify it, expose it to the rays of the sun. Exposing it once to the moon and once to the sun allows you to restore power to the yin yang energies of Green Agate.

If you want to be accompanied on a daily basis by the balanced energies of Green Agate, if you want to calm the torment of your feelings: we strongly advise you to choose a bracelet or a pendant in Green Agate.
