A mineral of the Quartz family, Agate's name comes from the Achetes River in Sicily, where Agates were first found.   Agates form in nearly every color the earth can produce, including a colorless form.

Agate have been prized throughout human history, and even pre-history.  Agates have even been discovered with the artifacts of people from the Neolithic period.

Agates have been used as healing amulets and ornamentation dating back to ancient Babylon. Its medicinal uses continued through the ancient Greek and Egyptian civilizations, and spread throughout Africa and the Middle East into Russia.

Agate sparked a world renowned stone-cutting and polishing industry in Germany that flourished from the 15th to the 19th century, and still exists today.
