ABOUT AGATE

Agate is a semiprecious gemstone and variety of chalcedony that is known for its bands of colors and transparency. It is a type of quartz that is typically white, gray, or yellowish-brown to reddish-brown, but can also be blue or green. Agates are primarily formed within volcanic and metamorphic rocks.

The ornamental use of agate was common in Ancient Greece, in assorted jewelry and in the seal stones of Greek warriors, while bead necklaces with pierced and polished agate date back to the 3rd millennium BCE in the Indus Valley civilisation.
