Agate is a stone of strength. It was used by ancient civilizations on the breastplates of armor to give warriors strength in battle. Agate also enhances creativity and strengthens the intellect, making it a good stone for students and artists. It is also known as a luck stone. As a stone of harmony, one of the things agate does is balance yin and yang energy. Agate also is known for increasing energy. However, because it is a grounding stone, it does not increase energy at all times, but rather enables bursts of energy as needed. In this way, agate is a conservation stone, and enhances longevity.
