Historical Significance
Agate was valued as a talisman in ancient times, believed to protect against fevers and quench thirst. Persian magicians used it to divert storms, and the King of Pontus famously collected over four thousand agate bowls. In crystal traditions, agate is especially suited to Pisces, Gemini, and Virgo.
As with all natural stones, swirling patterns and color variations make each sphere truly one-of-a-kind.
