The Patuxent River Stone is commonly described as a form of red to yellow Agate found in Maryland (though more technically it is actually a form of Quartzite), and it was designated the Maryland State Gemstone in 2004.

As a good earthy grounding crystal, Agate anchors your energy to the present moment and helps establish a strong connection with the Earth. It serves as a catalyst for imagination, fostering creativity and inspiring innovative thinking. Agate also supports concentration and focus, making it a valuable tool for studying or engaging in tasks that require mental clarity. With its stabilising influence, Agate brings a sense of balance and equilibrium to all aspects of life, harmonising the mind, body, and spiritual energy.
