Strand of Colored, Faceted Semi-Precious Stone Beads – Agate "Dragon Veins”, Round Shape
Agate is a porous mineral that easily absorbs various pigments. The different layers of the stone have distinct absorbent capabilities due to their different composition and structure. Another property of agate is its ability to change color when heated. This offers endless possibilities for creative expression, which is why today there is a whole industry dedicated to the production of chemically colored stones. The art of dyeing agate was known as far back as Roman times. It is durable, irreversible, and considered a standard practice for enhancing its characteristics.
