Historical and Mythology Information:  – Agate has had a prominent reputation for being a great protection and good luck stone in most of the ancient world including India, Nepal and Tibet.  Amulets were traditionally carved out of it so that they had either straight or parallel bands running through them.  

Most commercial Agate comes from Brazil and a lot of the brighter colours are dyed.  This can be done because it is very porous and absorbs water/colour.  One thing to note when using Agate is that all colour has their own vibration and so if you are attracted to a specific stone even if it has been coloured there is a reason you need that vibration in your life.

NOTE: Do not leave the coloured pieces in the sun for long periods of time as the colour can fade also do not use them in a fish tank as the colour can leach into the water.
