-Agate belongs to the tectosilicate minerals. It is classed among the varieties of chalcedony (a microcrystalline form of quartz) and occurs in many colours, white being the most common. In all its colours, however, it is translucent.
-According to Theophrastus, the Greeks named this mineral after the river Achates (today the Drilio) in Sicily, where it was found.
Agate was highly prized as an amulet in antiquity. Agate cups were also very popular in the Byzantine Empire and, during the Renaissance, among the aristocrats of the time.
-Red agate is said to drive away anger and create a sense of security.
