Snakeskin agate is a stone of invisibility and a natural shape-shifter. It helps to blend in and travel without being seen in both the physical and spiritual upper and lower worlds. The stone is a handy accompaniment for soul retrieval.
Spiritually, snakeskin agate strengthens the base and sacral chakras, rooting the soul into the body and the earth. It facilitates full acceptance of incarnation.
Psychologically, snakeskin agate, being an exceptionally cheerful stone, assists in getting rid of depression and worry from daily life. It connects you instead to the joy of living. The crystal reminds you that, just as a snake sheds its skin, you can slough off your past and be reborn.
Occurrence
When place on the lower chakras, this stone activates the rise of kundalini and instigates regeneration. It lends you the cunning of a serpent when handling devious people or difficult situations.
Physically, under the homeopathic principle of ‘like cures like,’ this stone has long been used to smooth wrinkles and heal skin diseases. It has traditionally been used for psoriasis, hearing disorders, and the stomach.
