Product description
Strand of dyed, faceted semi-precious stone beads AGATE in a round shape.
Agate is a porous mineral that easily absorbs different pigments. The individual layers of the stone have varying levels of absorbency due to differences in their composition and structure. Another notable property of agate is its ability to change color when heated. This provides vast opportunities for creative expression, which is why today there is an entire industry dedicated to the production of chemically colored stones. The art of dyeing agate has been known since Roman times — it is permanent, irreversible, and accepted as a standard practice for enhancing the stone’s characteristics.
