Black Banded agate bracelet

Black banded agate is a striking gemstone with layers of contrasting black and white bands, creating a visually captivating effect. It is typically a variety of chalcedony, a mineral in the quartz family, and is known for its smooth texture and translucent appearance. The black and white bands can vary in thickness and design, making each piece unique.

This stone is often used in jewelry and decorative items, and it's believed to offer grounding and protective properties. In metaphysical practices, black banded agate is associated with promoting strength, stability, and emotional balance, helping to overcome negativity and providing a sense of calm. It is also thought to support physical healing, particularly in issues related to the digestive system and circulation.

The stone’s bold color contrasts are not only visually striking but also symbolize harmony between light and darkness, offering a sense of equilibrium for those who work with it.
