What is Agate?
Agates naturally develop in rocks, when an empty pocket is filled with micro-crystals and form concentric bands or other patterns. Agates develop as secondary deposits in hollow cavities known as vesicles. When the hollow cavities and seams are filled with fluid concentrated with dissolved and suspended quartz molecules (known as silica), the fluid becomes very concentrated and turns into a gelatine like substance. Over time, the silica molecules form miniature fibrous micro-crystals that attach to the sides of the cavity. During this process, other mineral impurities that were formed when the cavities were filling begin to form intervening and contrasting bands. Agate colours vary because the arrangement of the micro-crystals are affected by changes in pressure, temperature, and mineral content during the formation process, making each one totally unique.
