Agate MineralogyAgate has the chemical formula Si02 +AlCaFeMn and belongs to the mineral class Oxide, Quartz group. Agates (and Jaspers) are a cryptocrystalline (crystals too small to be seen by a normal microscope) variety of Quartz, known as Chalcedony. There are many varieties and colours of Agate. Colours include brown, pink, green, blue, grey, yellow and red and some of the more common of varieties are Chrysoprase (green Agate), Sard (yellow to brown Agate), Sardonyx (banded Sard), Onyx (black and white Agate), Carnelian (a yellow to orange-red Agate). Due to Agates highly porous nature, it is often commercially dyed, this is usually obvious due to the over brightness of colour.
Agate forms hydrothermally, often in spaces formed by gaseous bubbles in cooling lava in volcanic rock, where it grows from the outside edge of the cavity towards the centre. Usually it has lovely concentric or irregular layers created by other substances being deposited on each layer and these can include other members of the large extended Quartz family. If the Agate reaches the centre of the cavity and so closes up it is often referred to as an Agate Almond, if it does not and leaves a space in the centre it is referred to as an Agate Geode. |
