Product Description
Agate Fossilized Tumbled Stone 1.25"-2"
Mineral Information:
Fossilized agate is a variety of agate that has been preserved within fossilized material. It is created when agate forms within cavities in ancient rocks or other materials, and is then fossilized over time through a process of replacement or mineralization.
Fossilized agate commonly displays the characteristic banding and patterns of agate, but with the added texture of the surrounding fossilized material. Common types of fossilized material that may be found in fossilized agate include petrified wood, coral, and shells.
Fossilized Agate has a Mohs Hardness of 6.5-7.
Mineral Care:
Fossilized agate is generally safe to handle. Consumption and being used in gem waters, especially in the case of rough specimens, is not advised.
Fossilized agate can vary in fragility depending on how well-preserved the fossil is and how it was formed. Generally, fossilized agate can be more fragile than regular agate due to the presence of organic material in the fossil, which can make it more prone to cracking or breaking. However, if the fossilization process was particularly strong, it may result in a more durable and less fragile stone. It is always best to handle any agate, including fossilized agate, with care to avoid accidental damage.
Metaphysical Properties:
Fossilized agate is said to promote grounding, stability, and a feeling of connection to the natural world. It is also said to assist people to connect with the wisdom and energy of ancient beings and to help the process of personal development and growth.
