About The Material These Picks Are Made From:

Plectrums made from stone have been used traditionally throughout the world since the dawn of stringed instruments millennia ago. Agate is typically a semi-translucent stone composed primarily of chalcedony and quartz that appears in many different colors and patterns. A variety of agates have been used by humans since the Neolithic era, and have been valued for their ornamental qualities since at least 5,000 years ago. The Indus Valley Civilization, Ancient Egypt, Babylon, and Ancient Greece all prized agate for use in beads, seals, rings, and other ornaments for its aesthetic value as well as its healing and metaphysical properties.

Brazil is a region of the world famous for many stunning types of agate. Brazilian Red Agate generally has a strong reddish color which can sometimes lean towards caramel or brown hues, however it often features white, cream, tan, yellow, and even black or other darker sections. Red or dark sections of the stone are usually fairly opaque, with lighter white or yellow areas being more transparent. The colors are formed due to trace amounts of metal present, such as iron, with the types of metal determining the coloration. Brazilian Red Agate can sometimes look similar to Carnelian, but tends to be more red in color than Carnelian and is usually more opaque.

Brazilian Red Agate is a hard and durable stone, with a 6.5-7 rating on the Mohs hardness scale, which makes it a fantastic and long lasting material for use in guitar picks.
