Natural Green Madagascar Agate Bead Strand (8mm)

Natural Green Madagascar Agate Bead Strand (8mm)

A Stone of Natural Harmony and Balance

This beautiful strand is composed of 8mm beads of natural Green Banded Agate, sourced from the rich mineral deposits of Madagascar. Agate, a variety of chalcedony, is cherished for its fine grain and distinctive banding. Each bead in this strand showcases a unique landscape of deep forest greens, soft milky whites, and mossy tones, telling a story of its slow formation within ancient volcanic rock. Valued since antiquity for its perceived ability to balance energies and bring calm, agate has been a favored stone for talismans and jewelry for thousands of years. As a traditional stone for those born under the sign of Gemini, its balancing nature is explored in our guide to Gemini birthstones. This strand from our Agate collection is a perfect canvas for creating jewelry that feels both grounding and refreshingly serene.
