Agate Mineral & Gemstone Information
Agate is the name of a broad number of varieties of banded chalcedony (cryptocrystalline quartz). Agates come in many colors but are generally earth tones, and range from translucent to opaque. Technically, if a stone is not banded it is not an agate, but many chalcedony stones that do not have bands are called agates, like dendritic agate and moss agate.
Agates are hard and durable stones, and generally are very affordable, making them great stones for beginners to crystal healing.
