AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Magnificent slice of agate

Most minerals refer to the naturalist who discovered them, their color, or more rarely, to the locality where they were first discovered (topotype).

Agate does not escape the rule because its name comes from the Achates River in Sicily, where it was discovered in large quantities. This name was given by Theophrastus, Aristotle's successor, between 300 and 400 years before Christ. The Greek name of this river is 'akhates'.
