AGATE MEANING
Agate is a translucent variety of Chalcedony, belonging to the cryptocrystalline quartz group. It presents curved or irregular bands of different colors, tones, or transparencies of the same color, such as brown, red, white, gray, and grayish-blue. Very vivid colors are almost always the result of treatment to enhance the natural color. The colors and shapes are so varied that a collection of agate stones would look like a collection of many different stones. But, beware: almost all of the colored agates we see today are artificially dyed. They are found as nodules in ancient effusive rocks, poor in silicic acid, and secondarily, in clays and gravels. They form from the crystallization of silica on the posterior walls of obstructed cavities in rocks. Due to different coloration, filiation, and porosity, several superimposed color layers are formed. The interior of agate geodes is often covered with rock crystal, amethyst, or smoky quartz. Depending on the design of the layers, it receives various names, striped or layered agate, star-shaped, walled, landscape, mossy, etc. The name agate comes from the ancient river Achates, today known as Dirillo, whose source is near Mount Lauro, in Sicily (Italy). 3,000 years ago, agate was already worked in Egypt in the form of seals, ring stones, gems, and vessels. It was also used as an amulet, to protect from lightning and storms.
Where they are found: Brazil is the world's leading producer of agate, and its deposits, the most important on Earth, are mainly found in Rio Grande do Sul. The first Brazilian deposits were discovered in 1827 by immigrants from Idar-Oberstein, Germany, who came to southern Brazil, as the deposits in their home country had been exhausted since the beginning of the 19th century. It is also found in Uruguay.
