Description of the Black Agate Cross Pendant

Black Agate owes its name to the river Akhates in Sicily. The Greeks and Romans used this stone in the manufacture of decorative objects and cameos. The natural beauty of the stone soon came to be known on all continents and by a number of civilisations, such as the Mesopotamians, Celts and Egyptians, who all exploited it. A legend has it that Venus’ nails were transformed into Agates, giving the stone its other name: onyx (a Greek word meaning “nail”). This opaque black volcanic rock, which belongs to the chalcedony family, has been highly prized since Ancient times. Black Agate is mined all over the world and is mainly used for the manufacture of various lithotherapeutic and non-lithotherapeutic objects. Its main deposits are today found in Germany, the United States, Mexico and Australia.
