Agate Beads: History and Properties

 As the astrologers say, Agate is the stone of Mercury, Venus, Moon and Saturn. If worn as an ornament, it brings luck to those born under the signs associated with the mentioned planets. The beads are classified as Talisman agate and amulet agate. The former sows self confidence in young minds and the latter curbs all kind of falsehood addictions. It is believed that keeping an agate bead under the pillow while sleeping will grant you sweet dreams. Also, wearing a ring with the black agate is known to make the wearer seductive.

 Agate beads are believed to have amazing healing properties. People of Greece recommended wearing ornaments made out of these beads to those that badly suffer from ailments such as chronic cough, throat and dental diseases. Ancient-time agate stones used to have a picture engraved on them that symbolically represents a disease. For instance, if one suffering from migraine buys an agate bead having the image of a woman in loose hair and makes use of it in some way, his ailment will subside.

 And yes, Agade beads have magical properties also. Sounds pretty interesting, isn’t it?  Farmers of ancient Rome strongly believed that Agate has the power to grow their plants well, no matter how adverse the weather conditions are. It also helps athletes to win as it is capable of suppressing unreasonable anger and gives them the necessary confidence and the winning energy. Black Agate has the property to protect one from danger, evils of the dark and it also brings a balance in his emotions.

 Though it is the Romans that gave vibrant colours to the Agade beads, the credit of having used Agade stones for the first time in the making of seals, rings and decorative vessels goes to the Egyptians.
