Metaphysically, Agate has a lower intensity and vibrates to a slower
frequency than other stones, but is highly regarded as a stabilizing
and strengthening influence. [Simmons, 6] The layered bands of
microscopic quartz in Agate may appear delicate, they are actually
very strong. Agate is excellent for balancing emotional, physical and
intellectual energy, and in harmonizing yin and yang, the positive and
negative forces of the universe.
Blue Lace Agate inspires loyalty and trustworthiness. [Simmons, 6] It
is a support crystal for all caregivers, calming stress-related situations
and overcoming communication difficulties. Carry or wear Blue Lace
Agate if you struggle to express your emotions without getting upset.
[Eason, 219]
Blue Lace Agate counteracts the repression and suppression of
feelings caused by past fears, judgments, or rejections. It dissolves
old blockage patterns and doubt, and permits new methods of self-
expression and growth. Blue Lace Agate is especially beneficial in
helping men realize and accept their feelings and sensitivities. [Hall,
42]
As a support crystal, Blue Lace Agate assists those who fear
speaking in public or sharing thoughts and ideas with strangers. It is a
great stone for those who communicate for a living, such as workshop
directors, lecturers, teachers, or anyone who must connect in a clear,
intelligent manner. [Ahsian, 7] Blue Lace Agate also tranquilizes and
relaxes the mind of executives, and calms stress in postal workers.
[Mella, 131-132]
Blue Lace Agate's calm, centering properties also aid those who are
unable to stop talking, or who speak before thinking about the
consequences of their words. It encourages discernment about the
thoughts they share and the beauty of inner silence. It helps those
who have trouble keeping a secret, and promotes understanding in
the sanctity of trust. It is an excellent stone for imaginative children
who present created stories, and may need help in discerning
whether an event was real or imagined. [Ahsian, 7]
Agate promotes inner stability, composure, and maturity. Its warm,
protective properties encourage security and self-confidence. It is a
great crystal to use during pregnancy. [Gienger, 7] Agate also helps
new mothers avoid the "baby blues" sometimes experienced after
giving birth, and an Agate jewel worn between the breasts
encourages lactation. [Megemont, 15]
