Regarding the name, there are two versions, one of which belongs to the ancient Roman scientist Pliny. He suggested that the stone owes its name to the name of the Ahates River in Sicily, where there was a large deposit of these stones. According to another version, the name comes from the ancient Greek word "agates", meaning - happy, kind, good.It was thanks to this version that the stone was perceived as bringing good luck in business, happiness and the realization of good intentions.
