Mined from: Rome, Oregon, USA 

Description: Snakeskin agate is a type of agate that, when tumbled, exhibits a unique pattern resembling snake skin. It is a variety of chalcedony, which is a form of quartz. The distinctive patterns on snakeskin agate are created by white mineral deposits that form on the surface of the agate. This mineral layer completely covers the outside of the agate, leaving a smooth white surface. When these stones are carefully tumbled, the external layer is polished away to reveal a lovely snakeskin pattern overlaying the agate underneath. 

These snakeskin agates were mined by Rubble Rock and Gem and tumbled in our workshop! Watch Adam, the owner of Rubble Rock and Gem, dig for these rare and unique agates on our Youtube channel at this link: Snake Skin Agate || Rome, Oregon, USA || Rockhounding (youtube.com)

These are C-grade specimens. While they are still lovely tumbles, most of them are chipped, and their snakeskin patterning is less robustly defined when compared with our A and B-grade specimens.

Brown agates like these are often associated with the root chakra. The root chakra is located at the base of the spine and is associated with feelings of stability, security, and groundedness. Snakeskin agate's earthy tones and grounding properties align well with the energies of the root chakra, making it a popular choice for balancing and aligning this energy center. By working with snakeskin agate, individuals may find support in feeling more centered, secure, and connected to the present moment.
