Agate has a balancing and healing energy that can be very soothing; this applies especially to the blue agate. Katrina Raphaell, the authority on healing with crystals, considers the blue lace agate the most powerful healing stone of all the blue stones.
None of the blue stones, she writes in her Crystalline Transmission book, has a more peaceful countenance than the soft presence of the blue lace agate. Considered more healing than chrysocolla, turquoise, celestite, aquamarine, and other powerful blue healers of the earth, agate is also inexpensive and easily available.

Similar energy can be attributed to other types of agate; their energies being expressed further by specific colors. For example, the fire red agate will have the same healing energy, but in a more energized manner, while the green agate will be healing and very refreshing for one's mind and body.

Agate is also considered to be protective, as well as ground, so it is often combined with Dzi beads to create feng shui bracelets of various designs.

Place your agate in any area of your home that needs gentle healing and more expression. If you are working with tumbled agate stones, then go by the feng shui element meaning of the specific color of agate. For example, the blue lace agate will be excellent feng shui in the East (Health) and Southeast (Wealth) Bagua areas of your home; while the nourishing fire agate can create wonderful feng shui energy in your Southwest Bagua area (Love and Marriage).
