Agate
Agate
is found all over the world and is made up of a kind of chalcedony
quartz. It forms by filling cavities within rocks. The agate
forms in rings - similar to that of a tree. It can be found in
all the colours of the spectrum. The shape and colour depend
upon the circles created. Green and blue agate is the more rare
colour, but does show up occasionally.
Chemically agate is the same as tigers eye, petrified wood,
and jasper, and physically the same as quartz. Petrified wood
is actually agate that has replaced some of the organic matter
in the tree, slowly and over a long period of time. The structure
of the tree will remain but the tree inside is a fossil.
Most agate is found in North America. Some moss agate which
is any colour from white to green has been found in Yellowstone
National Park and Yellowstone River of Montana.
Lace gage which is translucent blue and white in colour, can
be found in Texas, Mexico and South California.
The colour of agate can be changed to almost any colour by
heating or chemically treating it. There are many agates on the
market that have their colour altered in one way or another.
