Dragon Vein Agate is one of the most visually dramatic stones in the agate family. Its surface is laced with bold, branching vein-like patterns that spread across each bead like cracks of lightning or the scales of a mythical creature, hence the name. This bracelet strings those striking 8mm beads on a flexible elastic cord sized for a 158.75mm wrist circumference, creating a piece that's as much a statement accessory as it is a grounding energy tool. The base stone is genuine natural agate, and the bold patterning is created through a crackle treatment and dyeing process that opens the stone's natural micro-fractures to reveal the dramatic veining.

Crystal Care
Because Dragon Vein Agate has been dyed, avoid prolonged soaking in water, which can affect the color over time. A quick rinse is fine, but remove before swimming or bathing to protect both the elastic cord and the color treatment. For energetic cleansing, smudge with sage or palo santo, or place on a Selenite charging plate overnight. Store flat or in a soft pouch away from direct sunlight to preserve the color.
