Volcanic Agate forms within the cavities of volcanic rocks. As the molten rock cools and solidifies, gas bubbles become trapped within it. Over time, silica-rich water seeps into these cavities and deposits layers of silica on the inner walls. These layers gradually build up, forming the distinctive banded patterns seen in many agates. The presence of impurities in the water can influence the color and banding of the agate, resulting in the unique variations observed in different specimens.
Volcanic Agate, formed from the rapid cooling of lava, is said to be believed to possess grounding and stabilising energies. It is thought to connect us to the Earth's energy and promote a sense of security and stability.
