Agate Chief Heads
These intricately carved chief heads are made from natural agate, a banded form of chalcedony composed primarily of silica (SiO₂), formed in ancient volcanic rock over millions of years. Revered for both its beauty and durability, agate displays earthy tones, translucent bands, and rich natural patterning that make each carving one-of-a-kind.
Geologically, agate forms through slow mineral deposition in rock cavities, creating its signature layered structure. Metaphysically, agate is known as a stone of grounding, protection, and inner stability. It’s believed to harmonize yin and yang energies, foster courage, and support emotional healing.
Carved in the likeness of Indigenous chief figures, these pieces carry additional symbolism—representing wisdom, leadership, and ancestral connection. Perfect for collectors, spiritual seekers, or as a meaningful gift.
