Black Flower Agate
Healing Overview
Key Properties: Transformation, renewal, grounding, stability, Protection, Psychic Gifts
Planets:
Black Flower agate is also called “black cherry blossom agate’. It is a stone of balance and harmony, and quite rare. It is a composition of chalcedony that forms deep within the Earth's crust, in an area where volcanic activity has influenced the patterns on the flower agate. It is considered a fairly new stone on the market. Sources include China, Madagascar and India. Its properties include linking the base to the crown chakra and the bindu, making it a crystal of harmony, balance and stability. Due to their rarity, fake flower agates are available on the market and can be identified by their appearance and texture. Genuine flower agate has natural variations of colour and transparency, and may even have ‘inclusions’. Fake Flower agate tends to have blooms that are too perfect, with multiple blooms that are too similar. Black flower agate gets the dark colouring from a variety of mineral inclusions during the formation process- hematite, basalt and manganese oxide can contribute to the dark colour. The floral patterns are inclusions that can be white, grey, peach or pink in colour.

Metaphysical Attributes
While flower agate is believed to promote growth and transformation across the emotional and physical layers of the aura, black flower agate is believed to offer an additional balance and harmony within the aura - allowing for a stability of the yin/yang (that is, masculine and feminine attributes), in a more anchored way. It is associated with the bindu chakra, which connects to guides and guardians and enables the reception of divine messages. As such, Black flower agate is considered an important tool for spiritual growth and development, especially when a person seeks to develop their intuitive, spiritual, and psychic gifts, including mediumship. It is a highly spiritual stone believed to carry a powerful energy that leads to a happier way of living and a heightened capacity to experience joy through the giving and receiving of love. It is a popular choice for artists (writers, painters and so forth) who seek divine inspiration and wish to develop gifts such as automatism (the capacity to express artfully beyond conscious thought, channelling divine messages and guidance through writing or artistic expression).

Crystal Care
Due to its rarity, it is popular with both metaphysicians and other crystal collectors as a specimen, ornament, jewellery, or carving for metaphysical use. With a hardness of 6.5-7, Flower agate is fairly durable and can withstand most treatments, including water immersion, and is not believed to contain toxic minerals. As with most crystals, if your flower agate becomes dirty with dust or grime, you can usually safely wash it with tepid water and an organic cleaner, then dry it with a soft cloth. Prolonged exposure to water may destabilise the stone's integrity. You would need to ensure that you don’t place your crystals against those that are harder to ensure that they aren’t scratched, and you would not place your flower agate against softer crystals for the same reasons. If placing in the sun is part of your metaphysical clearing and charging routine, be mindful that the crystal is not overexposed (especially in Australia), as it may fade. Suitable alternatives for clearing and charging your flower agate include smudging with sage or palo santo, sound healing (with tuning forks), energy healing, or placing it on another crystal with clearing and cleansing attributes, such as a selenite charging plate. Earthing by placing outside in a sheltered part of the garden is also a suitable method of cleansing and recharging.
