Agate is a porous mineral that readily absorbs various pigments. The individual layers of the stone have varying absorption capacities due to their different composition and structure. Another property of the stone is its ability to change color when heated. This creates a vast field for creative expression, leading to the existence of an entire industry dedicated to the production of chemically dyed agate. The art of dyeing agate has been known since Roman times. It is a permanent, irreversible process and is widely accepted as a normal practice for enhancing its characteristics.
