Zebra Agate / Banded Agate
/ Zebra Jasper
[via Astrological Sign]
Heather, Lavender & Pansy [2]
Personally I feel that Zebra Agate would also benefit from a cleansing and charging when the planet Mercury turns direct after a period of retrograde.
Zebra Agate (sometimes also known as Zebra Jasper or Zebra Rock) encourages an all action plan towards the reaching of personal goals and dreams whilst instilling the doctrine of "failure is not an option". Though it aids concentration and perception it it protects one from over-thinking, encouraging the enjoyment of life as is.
Whilst providing strength and stability during trying times it promotes self forgiveness, builds self confidennce and releives anxiety and depression. During meditation and the centering of the soul it stimulates the transition from the physical plane to the astral and can help one to see, overall, beyond the superficial.
Physically Zebra-Stone has been used to ease muscle spasms and heart palpitations. It is also a stone of choice against osteoporosis and teeth and gum degeneration.
Magical:
Placing a piece of Zebra Agate either side of the head is said to counteract insomnia and facillitate rich and varied dreams [3]
