Agate.
Agate ("happy stone") refers to chalcedony with various inclusions (strips, patterns, concentric layers, etc.). This is one of the most diverse in its optical characteristics of stones. The most common varieties of it are layered, ocellar, star, dairy, cloudy, landscape and ruinous. Combinations of different colors (blue, green, gray, etc.) in agate amaze with their diversity.
Agate personifies health, longevity and prosperity (glory and wealth). It gives the life force to its owner, attracts the sympathy of others. He improves vision and protects against poisons. From this stone, from ancient times, seals, ornaments, all kinds of vessels were made. Made in the shape of an eye, agate was placed in the eye sockets of statues and served thereby as a guard and for repelling evil spirits. A common version of the origin of the name is the Greek word "agate" - happy.
When choosing agate, pay attention to its pattern, as there are many tinted minerals on sale. To wear agate is best in pendants or beads.
