Gagate

Definition

Jet, the hard black fossilized wood or coal used for jewelry and ornamental objects, particularly in ancient Rome.

Etymology

From Latin 'gagate,' derived from Greek 'gateis lithos' (stone from Gagai, a town in Lycia). The term reflects ancient trade routes and material knowledge.

Kelly Says

The Romans loved gagate jewelry because it was beautiful, didn't cost fortune (unlike gems), and could be carved into detailed charms—ancient fashion made accessible to the middle class!
