Product description
Strand of semi-precious stone beads – dyed STRIPED AGATE in a round shape.
Agate is a porous mineral that easily absorbs various pigments. The individual layers of the stone have different levels of absorbency due to variations in their composition and structure. Another remarkable property of agate is its ability to change color when heated. This creates vast opportunities for creative expression, which is why today there is an entire industry dedicated to producing chemically colored stones. The art of dyeing agate has been known since Roman times. Agate dyeing is permanent, irreversible, and is accepted by the jewelry industry as a standard practice for enhancing the stone’s characteristics.
