Crystal Towers - A Black Agate Tower

Black Agate forms through volcanic activity and the gradual deposition of silica-rich fluids. During volcanic eruptions, magma creates cavities within surrounding rocks. Over time, silica-rich fluids seep into these cavities, cooling and releasing dissolved silica.

The silica molecules bond to form microscopic crystals of quartz, chalcedony, or other silica minerals, lining the cavity walls. Layer by layer, different compositions, and impurities create the characteristic banding and colors of agate. The cavity fills, solidifies, and hardens, while weathering and erosion expose the agate nodules, completing the formation of Black Agate.

Black Agate is a stone of balance and power. She is believed to bring you courage, internal strength, fortitude and assurance from negative energy. As a symbol of balance, she helps you find equilibrium in your lives by providing stability, confidence and resilience during times of transition or stress. Furthermore, the cool looking gem has healing benefits that can provide direct physical, mental and emotional relief, keeping you grounded and feeling secure. Black Agate helps to shift your perspective, allowing you to find mental and emotional balance while learning the valuable lessons you need to navigate through your life journey.
