Pendant Arabella

The name Agate comes from the Achates River in Sicily, now called Dirillo. The Agate has been a popular gem since ancient times, both for its beauty and its hardness. It is used as a precious stone, as a seal and as a cameo. One of the most famous deposits is the Idar-Oberstein, where the agate has been collected since 1548. It is said to be a protection against negative influences and it helps to identify the targets to be achieved.

A gem expert used these words to describe this stone: “Tanzanite looks like a sapphire would like to be”. It is a very precious stone, since it is considered a thousand times rarer than diamonds. Its name comes from Tanzania. Along the slopes of Kilimanjaro, in fact, there is the only deposit in the world. It is said to represent vitality and energy and it brings great benefits to the body and the soul when worn.
