Introduction

Radiant and calming, the Yanyuan Agate Bracelet is a showcase of nature’s artistry. Each bead displays the signature “candy-tone translucency” of agates found in Yanyuan County, Sichuan Province — a region renowned for its vivid, naturally layered chalcedony.

The bracelet features a harmonious blend of rose-pink, green, amber, and ivory hues that shift softly under the light. The smooth, rounded pillow shape enhances the agate’s natural translucency, giving each bead a glowing, glassy depth reminiscent of tumbled gemstones in clear water.

Geological Background

Yanyuan Agate forms through the slow crystallization of silica-rich fluids within volcanic rock cavities. The distinct palette of pastels and deep tones arises from trace mineral inclusions like iron, manganese, and nickel. Unlike dyed agate, Yanyuan’s colors are naturally developed through mineral-rich groundwater over thousands of years, producing its recognizable blend of clarity and warmth.

Metaphysical Properties

Associated with harmony, protection, and emotional grounding, Yanyuan Agate is said to balance yin and yang energies. It promotes tranquility while nurturing creativity and self-expression. The multicolor tones correspond to multiple chakras, making this a versatile energy stone for both grounding and renewal.

Aesthetic Appeal

The jelly-like luster and naturally varied tones make this bracelet stand out in any collection. Whether worn alone or layered with neutral stones, it brings a vibrant yet soothing energy — a perfect balance of color and calm.
