Agate Gems
by: padre art
Adorned with Agate gems,
thou woman’s heart shall gain,
And by persuasion thy desires obtain;
And if of men thou ought demand, shalt come
With all thy wish fulfilled rejoicing home.

Throughout history Agate jewelry has been considered useful in many ways. As early as 1502 AD it was described as giving the wearer victory, strength and the ability to avert storms.
Albertus Magnus wrote, in 1515, that the Agate was a protector against all dangers and would give you a bold heart and the ability the vanquish all obstacles as long as the jewelry was on your person.
This was also the period when it became known as a cure for insomnia and the giver of pleasant dreams.
“Agreeable, persuasive and favored by God.”, was the description of those that wear Agate jewellery, given by Marbodus in 1531.
By 1585 the virtues of temperance, continence and caution were added as gifts for gaining riches while wearing Agate jewellery.
