Agate is a banded gemstone and it is mostly through dying that they receive their lively colours. Colour dying was an art known to the Romans and today dying of agate beads has been practised to perfection since the 1820s. We have a number of agate bead varieties here, with the various colours available we are sure you wont have any trouble figuring these agate beads into your jewellery designs.

Please note our gemstone bead descriptions as we cannot photograph each batch due to our high turnover. Gemstone rough is never the same and when cut can result in different quality beads within a batch and a strand of beads. If you require specific information please ask prior to purchase.

DISCLAIMER:Unless noted pictures are not of the item for sale, they are not to scale and colours may vary due to screen resolutions. Descriptions describe a batch of beads, variations and irregularities will occur for both natural and man made goods within both batches and individual strands, all sizing is approximate. Contact us prior to purchase for details if you require exact specifications. Crystal Flair does not guarantee the colour fastness of dyed beads. Prices are subject to change without notice.
