Carved Agate
What spiritual or symbolic meaning is in agate?
The Holy Grail was carved out of a single piece of it.
"In fact, the Cup is made of agate stone - a popular material for drink vessels in those times. It is a homogenous piece cut out entirely from a lare (sic) chunk of agate, 9 cm in diameter. Naturally, decorations of gold and pearls were added to the supporting structure over the centuries."

Agates attract strength. Agate is a protection from bad dreams. It also protects from stress and energy drains. Agates have been used in jewelry since Biblical Babylonian times. They were used to ward off storms. They were prized gems in antiquity. The agates with banded colors were placed at the head of a sleeper to give rich and varied dreams.
that's from a new age site though, so the info is dubious at best. Whatever meaning you wish to place on it, Shin
