During the earth's geologic history there have been several times that all the earth's landmasses have been connected as a supercontinent.  The last time was 200 million years ago when South America and Africa were connected as part of the Pangea supercontinent.
When people first see these agates that strut their highly polished surfaces, everyone assumes that they have been coated with varnish. That is not the case.
The Jequitinhonha Brazilian River agates were naturally polished by the African black diamonds and diamond dust deposited in the sands of the Brazilian river between 200 and 300 million years ago when the continents were last connected.
 
Metaphysically, Agate has a lower intensity and vibrates to a slower frequency than other stones, but is highly regarded as a stabilizing and strengthening influence. The layered bands of microscopic quartz in Agate may appear delicate, they are actually very strong. Agate is excellent for balancing emotional, physical and intellectual energy, and in harmonizing yin and yang, the positive and negative forces of the universe.
