A semi-precious stone of black color, soft and light, which was used, already in Greek and Roman times, for its healing and magical qualities. An example of this is its use as an amulet, associated with its effectiveness in preventing the evil eye. In goldsmithing, it has been used for centuries to make necklaces, rosaries, earrings, pendants, etc.
