AGATE is a type of Chalcedony, part of the Quartz family. Agate has been used in ornaments since the Neolithic times (around 12,000 ago). Ancient Greeks and Egyptians incorporated Agate into healing amulets - it is thought that the Greek philosopher Theophrastus gave Agate its name because he found the stone in the Achates River, in the present day Sicily, now called River Dirillo). In crystal meanings, Purple-toned Agate is linked to the Crown Chakra and thought to bring balance, calm and focus. Agate is a birthstone for the Zodiac sign of Gemini (22 May to 21 June).
