Agate is a banded variety of chalcedony, a microcrystalline form of quartz, traditionally associated with grounding and stability. This pendant slices natural banded agate into a crescent moon shape, with the stone's layered banding running through the curve — chain sold separately. Quick facts Stone Agate Composition Chalcedony (microcrystalline quartz), banded Hardness (Mohs) 6.5 – 7 Color Natural grey, brown, and cream banding (varies by piece) Origin Brazil, Uruguay, Madagascar, and Botswana Chakra Root Traditionally used for Grounding, stability, and balance Care / Water-safe Water-safe; a quick rinse is fine Meaning & history Agate forms in bands as mineral-rich water slowly fills cavities in rock, layer after layer, which is why every piece shows its own pattern of rings and waves. Traditionally a grounding, stabilizing stone, agate is paired here with the crescent moon, a form long associated with cycles and intuition, for a soft, celestial everyday piece.

How to wear it Thread the pendant onto a chain of your choice (sold separately) at a length that suits you — many choose a mid-length chain so the crescent sits just below the collarbone. Care & cleansing Agate is water-safe, so a quick rinse under cool water is fine, followed by a gentle wipe with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, which can dull the polish over time. To cleanse its energy, many people rest the pendant near selenite or set it under moonlight overnight — fitting, given its lunar shape.
