Description of the stone

Alashan Gobi Agate, or Candy Agate, a variety of chalcedony, is known for its unique textures and colors. A special kind known as “candy agate” is produced in the Alxa Plateau of Inner Mongolia. It is a semi-transparent gemstone found in the Gobi Desert of Alxa League, which spans northern and northwestern China and southern Mongolia, China. Alashan Gobi Agate originates from a crater formed hundreds of millions of years ago and is exclusively produced from the burst of a sub-aquatic volcano in the Gobi Desert. It is then formed by cooling the magma ejected from the volcanic eruption. Through time, these stones have lived and moved within the Gobi Desert, enduring wind, sand, pressure, and extreme temperature changes. These factors contribute to the fascinating, wide variety of shapes and textures. these stones have absorbed the essence of all the elements of the earth. Each piece has unique characteristics and an individual story of its encounter and memory of Mother Earth.

The Alashan region is known for its rich geological history and is home to various mineral deposits, including the agate that is found there. Alashan Gobi Agate is prized for its distinctive patterns and textures, which include bands of brown, red, orange, dark green, yellow, white, and gray, and the texture in each stone is one-of-a-kind and uniquely shaped by nature. Rough stones of candy agate are usually found in irregular shapes and granular gravels. These agates naturally form in grape-like clusters, or a botryoidal structure, which is a less common natural formation. It can be worn in its original, rough form or cut and polished into cabochons, beads, and other decorative objects. In addition to a variety of body colors, these agates occasionally present color zoning between the inner core and the outer layer. The colored inner core, which makes the agate special and valuable, is nature’s gift in natural candy agate from the Alxa Plateau. The colorful agates heap together and form in different sizes, which makes them look like candy, mochi, or dry grapes. 

Agate is a variety of chalcedony, a mineral in the quartz family, typically characterized by its banded and often translucent. Mining and extracting the agate is time-consuming and difficult; the supply is limited as these agates are only found in the Alxa League area. Alashan have been worn for hundreds of years by the Mongolian and Uygur people as a protective and manifesting stone. These high vibrational stones make very effective meditation tools. they also contain trace elements and when worn regularly, have been said to be beneficial for ones health, especially in aiding blood circulation and calming the nerves. Alashan Gobi Candy Agate is a valuable and beautiful addition to anyone’s jewelry collection!
