Their dense structure makes agate durable, with a hardness of 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale: a valuable quality for a faceted bead, whose edges remain sharp with wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn lithotherapy:\u003c\/strong\u003e an anchoring stone, gray agate is associated with the root chakra.
