Black Agate is a type of Chalcedony, a mineral from the Quartz family. It has a deep, solid black color and has grounding and protective properties.
Black Agate comes from volcanic ash and is present in various locations worldwide, including Brazil, India, Africa, the USA, Uruguay, and Madagascar.
Black Agate has beautiful natural banding, from opaque black to translucent gray. Layers of microcrystalline Quartz form this banding, creating a unique and visually striking appearance.
