Snow Agate Heart - 1.6-1.8 inch

Snow Agate Heart is a symmetrical lobed heart polished on both faces, sized to sit comfortably in a closed hand. The body is a clean milky white, translucent enough at the thinner edges that light passes through and gives the outline a soft glow, and faint banding shows through the surface in places as a ghost of a pattern rather than a defined stripe. The absence of colour is the point: this is one of the few stones that reads as genuinely neutral.

White Agate is turned to for quieting and for clearing, with a secondary association with keeping things level, and its long traditions across the Mediterranean, the Middle East and Asia are consistently about purification rather than protection. The Heart form is the most given of all crystal shapes, and a white one avoids the colour associations that make other stones a statement, which is why it is so often chosen for weddings, for sympathy, and for anyone whose taste is unknown. It also sits cleanly alongside any other stone in a grid or a display.

Geological Information
Snow Agate, also sold as White Agate, is a chalcedony in the quartz family, silicon dioxide, at Mohs 7 in the trigonal system. Its white to milky colouration reflects an absence rather than a presence: the silica formed with very little iron, manganese or other colouring agent, which puts it at the clean end of the chalcedony spectrum where most agates sit somewhere along a coloured range. The material may show faint banding or a uniform body depending on how steadily the silica was deposited, and translucency varies with the fineness of the crystal structure. White agate has been used across Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and Asian traditions in contexts of purification and mental clarity. Sources include Brazil, India, and the USA.

AuturaSol Standard
Each natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity. Natural variations in colour, structure, inclusions, and surface features are inherent to geological materials and contribute to the individuality of each piece. Any known treatments, enhancements, stabilization, or man-made characteristics are clearly disclosed within the product information where applicable. Every piece is inspected and photographed to reflect its true character; however, lighting conditions, screen settings, and natural variation may cause slight differences in appearance.
