Agate information and Emerald Agate Jewelry
Agate is a semiprecious chalcedony quarts that comes in a wide variety of colours, textures and creative stripes. Emerald green agate that is used in our jewelry resembles emerald, but agate's colouring is much more varied.
Agate has been used since ancient times when it was regarded as a highly valued talisman to protect from thirst and fevers.
Bowls made of agate were very popular in the Byzantine empire. Similarly, the King of Pontus is believed to have accumulated as many as 4,000 agate bowls (his dinner parties must have been very popular!).
The enthusiasm for agate bowls and ornaments continued in Renaissance Europe and agate was mined in Germany as early as the 15th century.
Today agate continues to be used as a New Age talisman and as a versatile semi-precious gem in jewelry.
