Discovered and named between the 4th and 3rd centuries BC, Agate is one of the most common materials used in the art of hardstone carving. Its hardness and ability to resist acids, make it the perfect material for mortars and pestles to crush and mix chemicals.

In medieval times, the wearing of Agate was said to bring God's favour and protection from all dangers, in addition to curing insomnia and promoting pleasant dreams.
