Agate, which is also Chalcedony, is known in many forms. It is a semi-precious stone that is richly coloured and patterned, forming in concentric layers across a wide range of colours and textures. Each individual form of Agate is created as it fills the cavity of a rock. As a result, it often has a rounded shape with concentric lines, much like the growth rings of a tree trunk. Since ancient times, Agate has been highly prized as a talisman or amulet, and was also used to quench thirst and ward off fevers. Legends tell that Persian sorcerers used Agate to divert storms. Agate cups were very popular in the Byzantine Empire. Agate cups were a common possession among European royalty during the Middle Ages, and many museums across Europe hold remarkable examples.
