Agate is a dazzling variety of banded Chalcedony, part of the Quartz family, named after Sicily’s Achates River, where it made its debut. Known for its layered stripes, it sometimes sports quirky “eye” spots, colorful specks, fossilized surprises, or even solid shades. Nicknamed the Earth’s rainbow, Agate’s swirling bands come in almost every hue imaginable, including clear ones. From Neolithic treasures to Babylonian charms, Agate has long been a favorite for healing and decoration. Its magical appeal journeyed through ancient Greece, Egypt, Africa, the Middle East, and Russia. Plus, it kicked off Germany’s legendary stone cutting and polishing craze from the 15th century, which is still dazzling today!
