Product description
Strand of dyed, faceted semi-precious stone beads AGATE in a round shape.
Agate is a porous mineral that easily absorbs various pigments. The individual layers of the stone differ in their ability to absorb color due to variations in their composition and structure. Another remarkable property of agate is its ability to change color when heated. This opens up vast possibilities for creative expression, which is why today there is an entire industry dedicated to the production of chemically dyed stones.
The art of dyeing agate was known as far back as Roman times. It is a permanent, irreversible process and is considered a standard and accepted practice for enhancing the stone’s natural characteristics.
