Product description
Strand of dyed semi-precious gemstone Agate beads in round shape
Agate is a porous mineral that easily absorbs various pigments. The individual layers of the stone have different absorbing abilities due to their unique composition and structure. Another property of agate is its ability to change color when heated. This offers vast opportunities for creative expression, which is why today there is an entire industry dedicated to the production of chemically dyed stones. The art of coloring agate has been known since Roman times. It is permanent, irreversible, and accepted as a standard practice for enhancing its qualities.
