AGATE

Agate is a variety of chalcedony, a mineral of the quartz family, and is believed to have healing properties that can align and balance the chakras, the energy centers in the body. Among the different types of agate, different colors of agate are associated with different chakras. Agate is most commonly associated with the crown chakra, the energy center at the top of the head that is associated with spiritual connection and enlightenment. The crown chakra is associated with the color purple or white, and agate with these colors can be used to balance and align this chakra.
