Agate is a common semi-precious gemstone that is the banded variety of chalcedony. The banding within agate is a history of water chemistry change. It is found in many colors.
Agates have been treasured since antiquity, and were one of the first stones carved into jewelry and ornamental use. It was a stone on the High Priest breastplate in the Old Testament, representing the Aser tribe of Israelites.
Agates were created by the God of Creation. All lapidary and silversmith work were done by Travel Ore Designs Artist, Mark Nelson of Fort Collins. Additional pieces can be specially ordered as long as supplies last.
