Agates are found 500 Km southwest of Kuranda. We collect them from Agate Creek, tumble them for 4 - 5 weeks in a stone-tumbler until they are ready to be polished.
After this extensive procedure holes are drilled into the agates and finally I make jewelry like necklaces and brace-lets out of them, with silver or gold chasp.
About the properties of Agate
Agate provides for balancing of yin-yang energy and for balancing of the physical, emotional and intellectual bodies with the etheric energies. It stabilizes the aura, providing for a cleansing effect, which acts to dysfunctional energies and to both transform and eliminate negativity.
Agate is said to have been one of the stones used in the breastplate of the high priest.
In historic times, it was placed in water for use in cooking and/or for drinking in order to dispel sickness.
Agate can be used to stimulate analytical capabilities and precision.
It provides for perceptiveness to situations and awakens ones inherent talents and adroitness.
It is also used to produce inspiration from and connected-ness with Th entities residing in the spiritual worlds. |
