Agate is one of the most peculiar minerals on the planet. It is surprisingly diverse: scientists count about 150 varieties that differ in colour and chemical composition. The first mention of agate belongs to the III century BC. Objects made of agate are found in Egyptian tombs and ancient graves in England and the Urals. The value of agate was so great that it was considered worthy of decorating the chambers of emperors. It is known that agate was valued at the courts of at least two European lords — Basileus of Byzantium and, a couple of centuries later, the Austrian Habsburg dynasty.
