Men's Prayer Beads, Gray Striped Agate, 22 Beads, Limited Edition

Men's Prayer Beads, Gray Striped Agate, 22 Beads, Limited Edition

Agate takes its name from the way the stone's formation resembles the shape of a horse's brain, and striped agate in particular is said to symbolize love and to strengthen bonds between blood relatives. Agate comes in a wide range of patterns and colors, from black and red striped varieties to a rare 'dragon-pattern' agate, so named because its natural markings resemble dragon scales. This gray-toned striped agate ranks just behind dragon-pattern agate in popularity among men's agate prayer beads; where dragon-pattern agate is vividly colored, this piece has a more subdued, understated palette that lets its striping take center stage, with every bead's pattern subtly different from the next. Bright, flashy pieces aren't to everyone's taste at funerals and memorial services, where darker tones tend to be preferred, but this gray striped agate offers an elegant middle ground – distinctive without drawing too much attention, recommended for anyone who wants prayer beads with quiet character.
