Agate · Steady Bead (Bracelet)

🪷缘起

Agate (chalcedony) shows banded patterns; ancient texts note its interlaced grain. Red agate is an 'auspicious' sign in China; Buddhism lists agate among the seven treasures, meaning 'firm, unbroken.'

🔮寓意

Agate means 'layers forming, durable steadiness.' Wear to keep constancy amid change; its bands recall 'all in season, built layer by layer.'

📿形制

Banded agate beads or carvings, red/green/purple/multi; bracelet, pendant, necklace.

💬答疑

Q: Need consecration? A: No; agate is an aid, wear for its 'firm and enduring' meaning, not as a cult object.
