It forms in volcanic cavities where silica-rich solutions are deposited in fine layers over long periods of time – hence the characteristic banding. The name refers to the region where it was found in the former Kingdom of Swaziland (now Eswatini) and the neighboring deposits in Mozambique. In trade, you may also find it as plum agate, Eswatini agate, or Mozambique agate.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemprop=\"text\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 itemprop=\"name\"\u003eHow do I properly care for my Swazi Agate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemprop=\"text\"\u003eThanks to its Mohs hardness of 7, agate is a robust companion for everyday life. Rinsing it briefly under lukewarm water is harmless, but you should avoid long soaks, as fine cracks can absorb water. Direct, intense sunlight over long periods can cause the warm colors to fade slightly, so it is better to store it in a semi-shaded place. To charge it energetically, it works wonderfully to leave it in moonlight overnight or on a selenite plate. It does not belong in an ultrasonic cleaner.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemprop=\"text\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 itemprop=\"name\"\u003eHow can I tell if a Swazi Agate is genuine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemprop=\"text\"\u003eNatural Swazi Agate displays irregular, organically flowing bands in earthy tones such as plum, rust-red, ochre, and gray – no two specimens are exactly alike. Caution is advised with artificially dyed agates in bright blue, pink, or neon green, which are frequently sold in the mass market as agate from Africa but have been chemically dyed. Also, look out for small natural inclusions and druzy remnants, which are completely normal in genuine stones.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemprop=\"text\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 itemprop=\"name\"\u003eWhy does Swazi Agate have so many different names?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemprop=\"text\"\u003eThe variety of names stems from geographical and historical reasons: Swaziland was officially renamed Eswatini in 2018, which is why both terms are in circulation. Because the actual finding regions are near the border with Mozambique, the stone is also traded as Mozambique agate. In wholesale, you will also find it under the general designation Africa Agate or African Banded Agate, while the classic German spelling is Swasi-Achat or Swasiland-Achat.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemprop=\"text\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.happy-minerals.com\/blogs\/kristallwissen\/achat\" title=\"Everything about Agate Effect and Meaning – Happy Minerals Blog\" style=\"display: inline-block; padding: 15px 30px; background: #2d3748; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; border-radius: 5px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003e📖 Read all about the effect and meaning of Agate\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWant more? 👉 \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.happy-minerals.com\/search?q=achat\u0026amp;options%5Bprefix%5D=last\" title=\"Buy Swazi Agate at Happy Minerals\"\u003eDiscover all agates at Happy Minerals\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will receive a Swazi Agate intuitively selected by me and Ute from the batch shown – similar to the one pictured, equally beautiful, uniquely yours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eDecorative items are not included\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003e📸 My photos are taken under bright studio light to show you every detail.
