Is Agate Included in Your Store's Selection of Metaphysical Gems and Crystals?

Retailers who specialize in selling metaphysical gems & crystals will often stick with quartz-like minerals such as amethyst, rose quartz and citrine. While all of these are known for their healing properties, it is important to remember that quartz crystal metaphysical gems are not the only ones that collectors buy. Agate is well-known for its mystical qualities as well, and it can be much less expensive when purchased in bulk.

Why Agate

Even if your store caters to serious rock collectors, it makes sense to offer a selection of healing crystals and gemstones. Buying bulk agate to supplement your store's metaphysical gemstones is a smart way to diversify your inventory and draw attention to the unique qualities of these stones.

Agate is made up of microscopic crystals that appear as colorful bands and ribbons, and they almost always have a translucent quality. While the color of the agate dictates its metaphysical qualities, all are known as "grounding stones". This means they help the bearer maintain a healthy physical and emotional balance that enhances self-control and raises consciousness.

Many retailers purchase bulk agate because it is known to increase self-confidence and prosperity, but it is also been known to avert stormy weather and protect children from harm.

There are many different theories about the healing properties of metaphysical gems & crystals, but each is based on the way the stones interact with a person's root or base chakra.

For example, the colorful varieties of fire agate are often used before meditation because they build a strong connection with the natural energies of the earth. Black agate's dynamic presence represents the elemental earth and relates to an individual's survival instincts to quell stress and anxiety. Red banded agate promotes determination and encourages physical health and energy, while making the bearer more courageous.

Summary

Agate helps the bearer maintain a healthy physical and emotional balance that enhances self-control and raises consciousness. Bulk agate is also known to increase self-confidence and prosperity. The other colors or types have their own known good effects on the bearer which make them smart buys. Stocking your store with bulk agate to supplement your store's metaphysical gemstones is a smart way to diversify your inventory and draw attention to the unique qualities of these stones.
