Agate is a type of quartz (silica), chiefly chalcedony, characterized by its fine grain and bright colors. Although agates may be found in various types of rock, they are especially common in metamporphic. The colorful agate and other chalcedonies were obtained over 3,000 years ago from the Achates River (now called the Drillo) in Sicily..
Agates have been used in history to make both ornamental objects and practical items, including brooches, paper knives, inkstands, and seals. In addition, they have been useful for making mortars and pestles to crush and mix chemicals. Agates are extremely resistant to weathering.
