Agates in gray and black from Brazil - VERY RARE - Santa...

I am offering at auction a spectacular long bracelet of Brazilian agate, the Santa Agatha stone (Symbol of Fortitude). The entire necklace has been hand-knotted with knots at every bead. This exclusive necklace, being very long, can be worn in many different ways, all very flattering for any occasion. The relationship between agate and Christianity is twofold: on one hand, it is mentioned as a precious stone in the Bible, and on the other, it is associated with Saint Agatha (Symbol of Fortitude). Material: Brazilian AGATE - HIGH QUALITY Gem origin: Brazil Color: Gray and black tones (see photos) Bead shape: "Coins" or flat, polished rounded beads with a smooth, glossy finish Bead size: approximately 14 to 17 mm Necklace length: 127 cm - VERY LONG Necklace hand-knotted professionally with knots at every bead Quality thread: silk-cotton blend Gift box and protective pouches The photos are part of the description The display bust has a diameter of 22 cm (not for auction) Santa Agatha of Catania Martyr and Patroness: Agatha (from Greek agathé, meaning 'kind') was a young virgin and martyr of the 3rd century in Sicily, who suffered persecution for her Christian faith under Emperor Decius. Fortitude symbolism: Her story is an example of unshakeable faith and steadfastness in the face of torture. She is the patron saint of Catania, and her intercession is invoked against volcanic eruptions (such as Mount Etna). She is also the patroness of nurses and of people suffering from breast cancer, due to the torments she endured.
