History and origin of the stones

Agate is a historic stone that was already prized in ancient times for its beauty and symbolic significance. It is found all over the world, particularly in Brazil, Uruguay and Madagascar. Selenite, a clear and gentle stone, is mostly found in Morocco or Mexico. Both stones have been revered by various cultures over the centuries.

Origin and natural properties

Agate is formed by the deposition of silicon dioxide in volcanic cavities. Its various coloured layers are the result of different minerals accumulating over time. Selenite, on the other hand, is a crystal from the gypsum group, formed by the evaporation of water in arid regions. Agate has a Mohs hardness of 6.5 to 7, which makes it relatively durable, whilst selenite, with a Mohs hardness of 2, is rather fragile.

Scientific formulation and care

Agate is a quartz mineral, whilst selenite is chemically known as calcium sulphate. Both stones should be handled with care. Selenite, in particular, is prone to scratching and should be cleaned gently, preferably with a soft cloth. Avoid contact with water and chemicals to protect the gold plating.

Spiritual meanings

Although there is no scientific evidence for their spiritual effects, agate is often regarded as a protective stone that promotes harmony and balance. Selenite is often associated with clarity and purification. These meanings lend the necklace an additional layer of symbolic depth.

This necklace is carefully packaged, either in a cotton pouch or an elegant leather box, which is wrapped in tissue paper and packed in an eco-friendly cardboard box.
