Gem Spotlight on Agate

Agate is a variety of quartz and is considered a semi-precious stone. It is characterized by fine grains and bright coloring.

Varieties of agate have been popular for thousands of years. The stones have been obtained from Sicily for over 3,000 years! If there is one thing that does not change over time it is the raw beauty of nature and the appreciation we hold for that natural beauty.

Agate was named by Greek philosopher Theophrastus after he discovered it sometime during the 4th and 3rd centuries, BC.

Agate stones can be found as nodules in volcanic rock and ancient lava. The stone can be found in many colorful and unique varieties, from striped to spotted to banded. The stone is also often hollow and known by many as simply “geodes”.

Traditionally the stone is believed to cure scorpion stings and snake bites. It was also believed to soothe the mind (cure headaches), calm violent weather (lightning and thunder storms) and secure power among the powerful.
