The name Agate was given to this beautiful gemstone by the Greek philosopher and naturalist Theophrastus between the 4th and 3rd century BC. He had found this stone near the Achates River (now called Dirillo) in Sicily. The inhabitants of the time actually knew about Agate and were already using it for decorative purposes but had not given it a name. Agate is mainly formed in volcanic environments. A silica-rich liquid infiltrates empty pockets within rocks. Due to pressure and temperature conditions, a crystallization process will occur. Agate will form layer by layer. For each of the layers, some chemical elements will vary or change in concentration level. Thus, in this gemstone, colors and tones follow one another to create stones with unique patterns and tones.
