Product description
Strand of dyed, cracked 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 vary in their ability to absorb color due to differences in their composition and structure. Another notable property of agate is its ability to change color when heated. This opens up vast opportunities for creative expression, which is why today there is an entire industry dedicated to the production of chemically dyed stones.
The art of dyeing agate was known as far back as Roman times. It is a permanent, irreversible process and is accepted as a standard and common practice for enhancing the stone’s natural qualities and appearance.
