Product description
Strand of colored, faceted round beads made of semi-precious Agate stone
Agate is a porous mineral that easily absorbs different pigments. The individual layers of the stone have varying absorbing abilities due to their unique composition and structure. Another property of the stone is its ability to change color when heated. This offers vast opportunities for creative expression, which is why there is now an entire 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 is regarded as a standard practice for enhancing its features.
