Red Agate Psuedomorph
Lovely Red Agate, that is a psuedomorph after Aragonite, from Mexico. It has red sprays in a very pale blue background.
A psuedomorph is when a mineral changes into another mineral in every respect, except its outer former shape, which stays the same. Agate is named from where it was first found - by the River Achates (now called the river Drillo) in Sicily. Metaphysical Properties: Agates in general are known for being lower intensity stones. They are considered stabilizing and strengthening influences.
