Flower agate is a light pink, peach, or orange chalcedony with white to cream bloom shaped patterning. It may be sold as cherry blossom or sakura agate, after the Japanese name for the flower. While sometimes dyed on the market, the original Madagascan material is untreated.
Ancient Persians believed that agate could divert storms while Roman farmers use to carry agate with the hope that the heavens would grant them a bountiful harvest. Believed to release stress while establishing inner peace and empathy. Known to give inspiration and encourage self-growth.
