The name agate derives from the Greek “achates”, the name of the river where in ancient times multiple quantities of this stone were found and extracted.

The meaning attributed to the agate is "stone of magic that brings calm and peace". It is a singular stone that we can find in various colors.

Agate is a feminine stone that has multiple properties. Among the most important we have:

• protects mom during pregnancy
• instills courage
• gives peace and tranquility
• instills optimism
• promotes relaxation of the mind and meditation

One of the greatest properties of agate is precisely that of instilling courage, inspiring after having freed the person wearing it from fear and oppression.

The ancient people, including Indians, Nepalese and Tibetans, considered agate a protective and lucky stone, not only for the person but also for the environment.

It was thought that agate was a manifestation of the supernatural and was considered a sacred stone, capable of instilling strength and courage. Pliny claimed that it made athletes invincible and Albert the Great attributed to the gem the power to avoid dangers and overcome setbacks. For this it was a welcome gift to warriors.

In the Lithica poem attributed to Orpheus, we read that the man in love had to wear an agate to win the heart of the desired woman. It is said to strengthen couple fidelity.

There are Agates with bright and too contrasting colors, such as green, blue, yellow and purple, as the stone is artificially colored with techniques that once the craftsmen were handed down from father to son.
