Agate comes in many forms and is considered a power stone; excellent for those that deal with numbers as they help you be more precise by stimulating your analytical capabilities. Agates are very good for all aspects of money including acquiring it, keeping it by protecting it, and your generosity in sharing it. They bring balance and harmony to your life by allowing you to accept the things you cannot change and giving you the courage to change the things you can. It is also a good stone to help you show forgiveness to those that have done you wrong and can help you release stress and tension so it can be converted to positive energy.
Agate stone comes in a HUGE range of colors and designs; from most every country in the world. They are one of the least expensive healing gemstones because they are one of the most common types of crystals on earth. While all agates have basic meanings in common, most types of agate also have healing properties that are unique to the individual agate stone type.

Note 1 – No technical details are listed because there are simply too many types of agates to list them all.
Note 2 – This information is a reprint of my website gemstone-dictionary.com which was removed from the internet several years ago. About 3 years after it was started, it became the most copied website online. My work was used on thousands of websites and 10’s of thousands of Ebay auctions. All without my permission.
At one point I had to hire a person to do nothing but contact plagiarizers. Because it was a reference only site, over the past 3 years earnings from Google dropped to less than $200 a year. The site could no longer support itself, so I removed it.
I still want this information available to all who need it, so I am bringing it to Steemit.
