Agate is a relatively common stone that may be found around the world. Agate is a member of the chalcedony/ quartz family of stones. Agate comes in hundreds of different varieties and colours, including green moss agate, yellow moss agate, tree agate, carnelian agate, blue lace agate, banded agate, crazy lace agate, rosetta agate, Botswana agate, laguna agate, plume agate, green agate, plus many others, it would be impossible to name them all.

Agates are believed to have been formed millions of years ago during volcanic eruptions. The volcanic lava flows left cavities filled with gas. As the flows cooled, these cavities allowed for mineral bearing solutions to enter and the combinations of these solutions along with heat, pressure and millions of years allowed the agate to form. Agate will resemble a potato on the outside, the stone must then be cut or sliced to see the beautiful colors inside. Agate is said to strengthen the body and mind and when worn will give the wearer a sense of courage. It is also said to be a powerful healer.

Enhydro is the term for a rare type of mineral that contains water inside. Enhydro minerals form in volcanic stones, such as agates, geodes, and various types of crystals, such as amethyst or quartz. Enhydros are formed when water rich in silica percolates through volcanic rock, forming layers of deposited minerals. As these layers build up, the mineral forms a cavity in which the water becomes trapped. The cavity is then layered with the silica-rich water, forming its shell. Typically these stones will boast an air bubble that will move within the water inclusion. Shining a light through your enhydro mIneral may make this bubble easier to find. Because the cavity is not full, enhydro stones can produce sound when shaken. Enhydro pieces are prized by collectors due to their rarity.

Enhydro minerals are stones of balance and power, as they are born from three elements, fire, earth, and water. These stones embody energies of change and strength, and may assist those who struggle with change and adapting to new circumstances in their lives. The water trapped within is a symbol of cleansing, and may relieve anxiety related to new beginnings, and bring a fresh perspective to its bearer. Minerals that are enhydrous will also contain the minerals spiritual properties as well, and will amplify those energies.

NOTE: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DRINK THE WATER INSIDE YOUR ENHYDRO MINERAL. THIS WATER IS OF UNKNOWN ORIGINS AND MAY CONTAIN HEAVY METALS OR OTHER TOXINS.
