Apart from the generic healing properties of agate, black agate balances your energy body by centralizing whichever is good and align it to the core of your chakra center. As this process takes place, it filters off and transmutes those energies that no longer serve the purpose of your higher self. This increases one's concentration, clarity and the feeling of being composed.
This stone is very grounding as it can be found very close to the surface of the Earth. Stones with grounding properties are easier to connect with. One does not need to have a very light energy body to work with grounding stones, as such it is recommended for beginner’s to work with. It works gently and has a calming effect. Evidently; black agate has gained popularity over the years due to its quick effect to provide remedy to one's condition.
