Black Agate Ram Carved Pendant 2.5" x 1.5"

Agate, a banded variety of chalcedony, enjoys widespread popularity in the world of jewelry design thanks to its vibrant hues. It naturally displays a broad spectrum of brilliant colors, though it is frequently dyed to enhance its coloration. The primary source of Agate is the United States, with significant deposits found in the Great Lakes and Pacific Northwest regions. Metaphysically, Agate is valued for its ability to stabilize emotions and energy levels. Many gemstone enthusiasts also hold the belief that donning Agate can impart a profound sense of inner security.

In the context of a Greek or Etruscan individual, a ram's head pendant might have held the allure of an exotic and mystical "Oriental" amulet, serving as a protective talisman. It was a symbol of the enigmatic influence or wisdom associated with Egypt, the Punic civilization, or the Near East.
