It is characterized by its fineness of grain and variety of color. Although agates may be found in various kinds of host rock, they are classically associated with volcanic rocks and can be common in certain metamorphic rocks.Ancient use of agate stoneAgate is one of the most common materials used in the art of hardstone carving, and has been recovered at a number of ancient sites, indicating its widespread use in the ancient world; for example, archaeological recovery at the Knossos site on Crete illustrates its role in Bronze Age Minoan cultureTypes Of Agate1. Fortification AgateThis is the most common and distinctive type of agate. In these agates, bands crystallized intoconcentric layers that more or less follow the shape of the cavity. The banding resembles an aerial viewof a fort 2. Water-Line Agate (also called water-level or onyx)During its formation, silica-rich solution either entered the cavity slowly laying one band at a time,excess water drained out leaving a small amount of silica to settle out into separate bands, or the vesiclefilled under low pressure. In any case, the silica crystallization in water-level agates is controlled bygravity in one orientation, forming a stack up of parallel bands. 3. Shadow AgateSome agates exhibit a shadow effect in which there is what appears to be movement across the agatelayers when the specimen is rocked back and forth (or your orientation to the specimen moves). Thisoptical effect only occurs when there are alternating translucent and opaque bands. It is caused whenlight goes into the agate, but is not reflected out. 4. Tube AgateTube Agate During the formation of some agates, parallel projections of tiny hair-thin mineral rods growfirst within the silica gel, around which later the chalcedony agate micro-crystals form. In some casesthe inclusions remain, but sometimes they weather away leaving hollow tubes that subsequently fill inwith silica. 5. Eye AgatesThis mysterious agate characteristic is believed to be formed when most of the silica gel drains from thecavity, leaving only a droplet that “beads up” on the inside wall of the cavity. This droplet crystallizes intosolid chalcedony “eyes”. In some cases, crystal growth will continue from this droplet in a manner similarto the formation of stalactites in caves. Later, the pocket fills in with the usual deposition of chalcedonymicrocrystals. 6. Plume AgateThese agates initially had formations on their outside layer that formed prior to the deposition ofchalcedony bands. They are filament growths of mineral inclusions that resemble ferns or feathers. 7. Geode AgateGeode Agate In some cases the supply of silica-rich water runs out before the entire cavity fills in. Whenthere is a hollow center within a crystalline outer fill, the specimen is considered a geode. Not all geodeshave agate banding, but many do. Also, the inner layers can form into several different types of silicamineral crystals and may even have other types of mineral crystals. 8. Moss AgateMoss Agate Moss agates have clusters of mineral inclusions that resemble plants, trees, or landscapes.Most moss agate inclusions are comprised of iron or manganese oxide. In some cases, the inclusionsinhibit chalcedony banding allowing the mineral clusters free reign to grow within the silica gel. 9. Seam AgateSeam agates for in cracks within host rock, rather than in rounder pockets. The bands form in parallelrows that follow and fill in the crack or seam.
