Agate is believed to have been first discovered in France at 20,000-16,000 BC and the Egyptians used this stone before 3000 BC. The agate mining in Nahe River valley at Germany in 1497 gave rise to the Idar-Oberstein cutting-centre. After the agate deposit finished here, the cutters started developing agate deposits of Brazil. The same led to the detection of other gemstones such as amethyst, tourmaline, citrine, topaz, etc. which are sold as Wholesale Gemstone Beads by suppliers. Still now Idar-Oberstein is world-known for finest agate carving though it imports a large quantities of other gem materials; the same is then cut as well as carved in Germany and Asia into Gemstone Beads.
