Hildegard of Bingen and agate

Today's agate was still known by the name of onyx at the time of Hildegard von Bingen. She described this healing stone as follows: The onyx (agate) is warm and arises after the third hour after sunrise, when the sky is cloudy, the sun is burning strongly and the clouds cover the sun again and again. Therefore, it possesses little embers of fire, but harbors the warmth of the air, giving it great power against airborne diseases. Whoever has weak or dull eyes should pour pure wine into an iron or copper vessel and put the onyx (agate) in it for fifteen to thirty days and pickle it. After that he should take the stone out of the wine and wet his eyes with the wine every night until they get better. Whoever has a heart or side pain should warm an onyx (agate) on the body or in the hands. At the same time, he should heat wine over a fire and hold the stone over it so that the moisture that escapes mixes with the wine. Then he should put the onyx (agate) in the wine and drink it immediately, because then his pain will disappear. In the case of stomach pains, the onyx (agate) and the wine should be treated in the same way. In addition, however, a porridge should be stirred with chicken eggs and flour, which is eaten again and again until the pain disappears. Whoever has pain in the spleen should cook lamb or goat meat and proceed with the onyx (agate) and the wine in the manner already described. He should then dip the meat in the wine and eat it. He should do this until the spleen has healed. Anyone with a fever should pickle an onyx (agate) in vinegar for five days and season their food with it. Because the warmth of the vinegar mixes well with the warmth of the stone, his fever will quickly disappear. Anyone who is troubled should carefully look at an onyx (agate) and then put it in his mouth. He will lose his oppression.

formation of agate
Agate is a banded stone and belongs to the Calcedonian quartz group. It thus belongs to the mineral class of oxides. It is formed by layers of quartz being deposited one after the other in rock cavities, in which cavities may remain. The individual layers are formed by different types of quartz and foreign deposits such as iron, chromium and manganese. This is how the different colors and patterns of the agate come about and ultimately characterize the individual varieties.
