A strand of about 38 cm of small 3 mm round beads in gray agate, polished to a soft shine. Their gray tone, with slightly shifting shades from bead to bead, brings a restrained, mineral note to every palette.
Features:
This small size is ideal for layered delicate bracelets, close-fitting necklaces, and spacer beads between larger beads. It works just as well with gold-tone as with silver-tone. With a hole of about 0.7 mm, choose a 0.3 to 0.5 mm nylon thread or a thin cable. This gray agate is also available in faceted beads, in the same size.
A little gemology: agate is a variety of chalcedony, a microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂) whose crystals are too fine to be seen with the naked eye. It forms in successive layers in the cavities of volcanic rocks, which explains its zones and banding. Hardness 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, density about 2.6. Its name is said to come from the Achates, a river in Sicily where the Greek philosopher Theophrastus is believed to have described it. The main deposits are found in Brazil, Uruguay, India, and Madagascar.
In lithotherapy: gray agate is linked to the root chakra. It is associated with calm, stability, and inner balance.
100% natural product: size, shape, shade, and number of beads may vary slightly from one strand to another. Dimensions and quantities are given for guidance only.
