This gorgeous necklace is made out of a pendant of sliced
and polished agate with beautiful bands of color.
Agates may be found in various kinds of rocks,
they are classically associated with volcanic rocks and
can be common in certain metamorphic rocks.
The stone was given its name by a Greek philosopher and naturalist,
who discovered the stone along the shore line of the river.
Agate is one of the most common materials used in the art of
hard-stone carving, and has been recovered at a number of ancient sites,
indicating widespread use in the ancient world.
