One powerful crystal that is available is the white agate. This one is going to work well for opening up several of the chakras, and the bright white color can make it a decorative piece to wear or even to have around the house. But what exactly can the white agate do and when should you use it for your own personal healing?

White agate is one of the many varieties of agate, or a cryptocrystalline form of quartz. Agate is able to come in a variety of different colors, not just white, but when you happen upon a stone of white agate, you will notice it has a translucent or milky white appearance with patterns that can be enhanced if you so choose to do so.

In general, you will find agate forming in metamorphic or volcanic rocks. The silica-rich fluids will permeate into the spaces and cavities of the rock, which is where the quartz can get some of the different layers that are there. The banding in agate will form due to some variations in these deposits, which can sometimes make for a new pattern in the crystal as well.

White agate can be beautiful to look at, which is why it is very commonly found in jewelry. Due to the neutral color, this can be added to a lot of different designs along the way, making it a good stone to keep around for a variety of reasons.
