Agate is a stone formed from crystals of quartz so tiny they are invisible to the naked eye. This stone is mined all over the world, and in ancient times, it was used as tools and weapons, as well as being carved with letters and patterns to create ornaments and talismans. Agate is also a cryptocrystalline stone with very small crystals, making it beautiful and easy to dye. While natural stones have the charm of their natural colors, dyed agates that are beautifully and artistically colored are considered valuable.
