This is a beautiful Texas Red Plume Agate Sphere. The patterning and designs are awesome and the colors are gorgeous. There are areas of dendritic display. This is an exceptional sphere. Very nice! Agate is a very stabilizing stone. It is a good stone to have around when chaotic energy is present. Agate is a member of the Quartz family (specifically, a variety of Chalcedony), and has been used by many cultures as a Sacred Stone because of its stabilizing and balancing effect on the body, mind, emotions, and spirit. Texas Red Plume Agate in particular can help us call upon our innate passions and talent.
