AGATE – Metaphysical Properties: Balances yin-yang energy, stabilizes the aura. Facilitates discernment. Imparts strength and courage. Opens one to innate creative talents. (There are many forms of agate, each with specific properties.)
Agates occur as nodules in volcanic rocks or ancient lavas where they represent cavities originally produced by the disengagement of volatiles in the molten mass which were then filled, wholly or partially, by siliceous matter deposited in regular layers upon the walls. Such agates, when cut transversely, exhibit a succession of parallel lines, often of extreme tenuity, giving a banded appearance to the section. Such stones are known as banded agate, riband agate and striped agate.
PEWTER It's a little known fact that Pewter is considered the fourth most valuable metal in common use, after platinum, gold, and silver. (Modern pewter, called Britannia metal, is lead free and nickel free which means hypoallergenic). Pewter doesn't tarnish the way silver does. Like silver, pewter can oxidize when exposed to air, but unlike other metals, it oxidizes very slowly and evenly. This means your pewter may gradually develop a soft warm patina adding so much to its lasting charm. Jewelry with Pewter can truly be considered heirloom quality!
