Agate crystals are typically associated with the Root Chakra or Sacral Chakra and are used as meditation tools by those seeking confidence, strength, motivation, and creativity. Banded Agate, in particular, is believed to be a protective stone, warding away negative influences and entities. It is considered a patron stone for travelers, and is a traditional gift for those wandering far from home.

Agate is a natural variety of Chalcedony, known for its wide array of patterns, inclusions, and growth structures. Among the most popular types of Agate stone is Banded Agate: a gem showing off distinct layers due to periodic changes in translucency and color caused by co-precipitated minerals as well as weathering.
