Agate carries a quiet energy that works on the subtle bodies. This is good for achieving stability and balance in key aspects of your life. Agate works in the background on the cause of your issues, rather than its symptoms. Agate can also help you with overcoming negative emotions by bringing love into the chakras. This grounding of emotions makes Agate great for easing anxiety and stress. Agate can improve your mental functioning by helping you find clarity and steadiness. Agate can also boost creativity. In combination, these two qualities make Agate a good stone for both students and artists.
