The name is derived from the Achetes River in Sicily, where Agates were first found. Historically, Agate has been discovered with the artifacts of Neolithic people, and was used as healing amulets and ornamentation dating back to Babylon. (Simmons) 

Metaphysically, Agate has a lower intensity and vibrates to a slower frequency than other stones, but is highly regarded as a stabilizing and strengthening influence. (Simmons) Think of it as "A Gate" to courage, emotional strength and self-confidence. Agate is excellent for balancing emotional, physical and intellectual energy. (Hall)
