KOMBOLOI WORRY BEADS
WorryBeads or kombolói, kompoloi is a string of beads manipulated with one or two hands and used to pass time in Greek and Cypriot culture. Unlike the similar prayer beads used in many religious traditions, worry beads have no religious or ceremonial purpose.
Agate is said to be named for the place it first was found — along the River Achates (now called the River Drillo) in Sicily. This distinct and dramatically banded variety of chalcedony is composed of quartz layers. This composition varies greatly and can be of many colors. In ancient times, agate was highly valued as a talisman or amulet.
