Prayer Rope with Pink Agate Beads

Prayer rope with semi valiable stones (agate) in pink color, made in Holy Cell of Saint Antonios. The prayer rope has a small cross and decorative beads in silver color. 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. Faceting is the process of creating flat surfaces, known as facets, on a precious or semi-precious gemstone to enhance its brilliance and beauty. This technique began to develop around the 15th century, as knowledge of light and reflection advanced. At the same time, the development of specialised tools enabled craftsmen to shape gemstones with greater precision, allowing them to achieve greater brilliance and a more striking appearance.
