Agate itself is known as a steady, stabilizing stone, often chosen for balance, patience and peace of mind, and the blue color carries those traditional associations with calm and clarity. The heart shape adds its own long-standing symbolism of love, kindness and care, which is why heart stones are such popular gifts. Together they make a gentle reminder to speak and act from the heart.

Agate is slightly porous between its layers, so dye soaks into some bands more than others, which is why the stripes show up so clearly. The banding is natural agate structure, while the blue is added. It is sometimes sold as blue sardonyx or blue onyx, but it is best described honestly as dyed blue agate. Naturally blue agates, such as blue lace agate, are much paler and softer in color.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFurther Reading\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/agate-meaning-healing-properties-uses\"\u003eAgate Meaning, Properties and Uses\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/blue-crystals-meaning-properties-throat-chakra-healing\"\u003eBlue Crystals: Meaning and Properties\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBring home this bright blue agate heart, or send it to someone who could use a little color and kindness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ali","offers":[{"title":"Dyed Blue Agate \/ 50-100g","offer_id":48300024692907,"sku":"1005011644778125-50-100g","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/0345\/5915\/files\/Dyed-Blue-Agate-Heart-Hearts.jpg?v=1792380362","url":"https:\/\/www.crystaldestiny.com\/products\/dyed-blue-agate-heart","provider":"Crystal Destiny","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
