No gemstone is more creatively striped by nature than agate. Each individual agate forms by filling a cavity in a host rock. As a
result, agate often is found as a round nodule with concentric bands like the rings of a tree trunk. In ancient times, agate was
highly valued as a talisman or amulet. It was said to quench thirst and protect from fever. Persian magicians used agate to divert
storms. Some believe agate renders the wearer invisible, and due to its strength and durability, it is used for making ornaments or
for astrological purposes. Being a cooling stone, agate is said to cure insomnia, protect against danger, promote strength and
healing, and ensure a healthy life. The major sources of agate are the U.S.A., Australia, Canada and Mexico.
