Description: Treasure Agate is a very rare combination stone found in only one location that looks amazing when polished. As its finder reports: ‘It is a generous sprinkling of precious and beautiful metals in varying alloys,in translucent silica. In the gold rushes of the past, anything this rich was considered an ore, crushed to powder, and the metals refined…. Despite its rather significant precious metals value, this stone is too valuable to be crushed for extraction. It is exquisite. Cuprite (copper ore) presents many colours, and all are found here, and in among them there are patches of clearly visible gold, speckles ribbons, and blobs of silver, thick spotty patterns of Platinum Group Minerals frequently alloyed in places with gold, and dark specks of manganese’.

Just as the stone is unique, so it helps you to recognise and honour the uniqueness of each individual soul and the beauty within it – including your own. It takes you back to the beginning of All That Is and assists in exploring our galaxy and the divinity embodied within it. Holding this stone stretches you between two worlds, the mundane physical one and the sacred, spiritual one. One workshop participant described it as ‘Vishnu lying in the universe’. It holds the energy that sits in the spaces between cosmic particles and rays, and connects you to karmic threads that require releasing, facilitating that release so that your soul expands.

Millions of years ago a huge meteorite hit a lake which then dried up and became the Sonoran high desert. This meteorite seeded ‘bucky balls’ (fullerenes) into the soil and the rocks. Bucky balls are hollow structures that can absorb EMFs and other pollutants, which may make Treasure Agate invaluable for protecting against computer and other EMF emanations.

This inspiring stone assists in speaking out – and reminds you to listen to what others have to say. It asks ‘what is stopping you’. Treasure Agate clears physiological and psychological blockages in the throat and lungs and helps you to express not only your thoughts and emotions but also your innate creativity. It facilitates taking the bigger perspective, soaring above the mundane to see the truth of what is. It instils the perseverance you need to reach your goal, but also teaches when to let go.

This stone is indeed a treasure!!!!!
