Banded agates are essentially layered stones composed of two primary minerals: quartz and chalcedony. They are an opaque variety of these minerals, distinguished by a unique formation process that gives them a distinct appearance. When examined closely, one can observe the microscopic quartz crystals, a characteristic particularly prominent in banded agates.
While it's often suggested to carry the healing energy of banded agates by wearing them as jewellery, larger crystals may be better suited for decorating your home, office, or vehicle. They can assist in cleansing the negative energy in your environment, benefiting both you and those nearby.
If wearing them isn't an option, consider carrying cabochons, polished stones, or small raw banded agates in your pocket or purse. They're equally effective.
