Prayer Rope with Grey Agate Beads

Prayer rope with beads from the semi-precious agate stone in earth tones, made in the Holy Cell of Saint Antonios. The bracelet has a small cross in the center and decorative silver beads. With its remarkable diversity of colours, agate is a natural stone valued for its distinctive appearance. It ranges from lighter shades, such as white and grey, to deeper tones, including brown and black. Its name originates from the Achates River in Sicily, with which the stone has been associated since antiquity. The cut of a gemstone plays an important role in its overall appearance. Depending on its shape and the way it is cut, the stone’s brilliance, colour and clarity can be enhanced. Certain cuts can also make a gemstone appear larger than it actually is. The term faceted cut refers to a gemstone that has been shaped using this technique, with precisely cut flat surfaces designed to enhance its visual appeal.
