Agate

Agate is a cryptocrystalline quartz mineral with unique bands or textures. Agate is named after the Arcates River in Sicily, Italy, where it was discovered early. Agate is usually formed in cavities of volcanic rocks and is formed by the precipitation and condensation of silica solution layer by layer. Its typical banded structure and rich colors originate from mineral deposition at different times. Natural agate often exhibits a variety of alternating colors, with ever-changing colors and textures, and almost no two pieces of agate are exactly the same.
