Purple sage agate is an agate which has been recently found in Arizona, USA, and which resembles, in colour and in formation, the Holly Blue Agate. It is similar in appearance to the Ellensburg blue agate, except that the blue coloring includes a tinge of violet. The combination of these colours produces a lovely violet-blue agate which occurs in seams, masses, and druses.

This mineral has been found to activate the occurence of change by assisting one to love oneself. It helps one to question that which is of value and to release confrontation with the values of others. Heightening ones sensitivity, it acts to reduce vulnerability and brings profound insight. The natural attention-gathering ability increases and delivers an energy to bring the "new" into ones realm of activity and being.

It can assist in the activation of the throat chakra and the crown chakra such that one may speak that which will be beneficial for advancement toward enlightenment.

Purple sage agate is a "stone of completion", assisting one to complete that which has been initiated, to achieve what which one desires, and to perfect that which one attains. It further brings the energy to allow one to relax in the ease with which things, events, and people come into ones life, providing an opening to opportunity for the release of manipulation.

It further stimulates empathy - not sympathy - such that one may truly understand the conditions and situations of others. Also helping one to follow ones own inner convictions, it produces a strength for one to be "true" to the self.

This mineral has been used in the treatment of emphysema, the reproductive system, and depression. It has also been successful in use in the therapy for debilitating conditions, and in the treatment of disorders of the throat and brain.
