The colors and shapes are so varied that a collection of agate stones would look like a collection of many different stones. But be careful: almost most of the colored agates we see today are artificially dyed. They are found as nodules in ancient effusive rocks, poor in cilicic acid and secondarily, in clays and gravels. They form from the crystallization of silica in the back walls of obstructed rock cavities. Due to the different coloring, filiosity and porosity, several overlapping layers of color are formed. The inner part of agate druses is often covered with rock crystal, amethyst or smoky quartz. Depending on the design of the layers, it receives different names, striped or layered agate, starry, walled, landscape, mossy, etc.
AGATE SYMBOLISM
The name agate comes from the ancient river Achates, today known as Dirillo, whose source is close to Monte Lauro, in Sicily (Italy). 3,000 years ago, agate was already crafted in Egypt in the form of seals, stones for rings, gems and vessels. It was also used as an amulet, to protect against lightning and storms.
