This stone, sometimes translucent or opaque with or without veins, should not be confused with mossy agate. It has a rich history dating back to ancient Egypt, where it was utilized for seals, rings, and vessel decoration over 3,000 years ago. Named after the Achates River (now Dirillo) in Sicily, where it was originally found, the Romans pioneered the art of dyeing it into vibrant colors. Today, it remains popular in art objects and jewelry, valued for its hardness and chemical resistance in various industries. People in order to keep this alluring gemstone close to themselves like to wear it as the Green Agate Jewelry.
