Agate is the birthstone for the zodiac sign of Gemini, but is not a traditional birthstone for a birth month.
Blue is associated with truth, loyalty and reliability.
Its importance for healing has been recognized since the Golden Age of Greece.
It was revered in ancient Indian and Chinese civilizations.
Today, healers who work with color use blue stones for diagnosing and treating throat-related problems.
Poise and serenity have always been associated with blue light.
Even the expression "feeling blue" comes from blue's cool, sedative effect.
No wonder even people who don't "love blue" are drawn to people who do.
Like other Agates, Blue Agate can be cleaned with warm soapy water and a soft brush.
Avoid exposure to household chemicals and extreme heat.
Because of the hardness and durability of Agate, it should be kept away from other gemstone and jewelry to prevent scratching softer materials.
Cosmetics and perspiration can negatively affect the surface polish of Agate Gemstones. Be sure to put Agate jewelry on after applying make-up and perfumes, as well as removing it before swimming or engaging in sports.
Store Agate jewelry in a separate pouch or box to prevent it from damaging other stones. Do not store in direct sunlight or in a warm location.
If blue is your color (it is "the color" for millions), the jewelry you create with this vibrant blue agate will be a "must-have." If you're creating jewelry for "blue purists," try combining this semi-translucent stone with a variety of other blue beads, pale blue lace agate, blue fossil beads or various shapes and shades of Austrian crystal.
Enhance it by mixing it with complementary cool colors such as greens and lavenders, or cool down warm yellows by using Blue Agate as an accent.
Set the cabochons in open-backed pendants so their blue glow shines through.
People who love blue will just naturally gravitate toward you.
Other people will know you have some magic that they want for themselves.
They just won't know that it's all in the color!
