Translucent Wine Red
Red Agate
Polished red agate round beads in translucent wine-red tones with clean internal depth, glossy highlights and a subtle centered string line for a vivid grounded strand.
Red Agate is an igneous mineral, Mohs hardness 7.
Where it’s found: Agate forms in volcanic rock all over the world. Major sources include Brazil, Uruguay, India and Mexico.
Why the colour: Its warm red comes from iron oxides within the agate.
Good to know: Agate is slightly porous, so it's very often heated or dyed to deepen its colour. Heating red agate is a long-standing, widely accepted practice.
Across traditions, red agate is worn as a reminder of grounding, energy, courage and protection. We share these correspondences as cultural tradition, not medical claim.
Often gifted to those born under aries and scorpio and capricorn.
