Agate
The colours are arraigned in strips or bands or blended in clouds and classified accordingly as moss, ribbon, dendrite, etc. The stone, widely distributed but not very popular, is generally brown. When used for ornamental purposes it has usually been dyed artificially as the porous nature of this mineral allows it to absorb material from solution. Brownish- orange agate is known as cornelian, the green variety chrysoprase, the blue variety chalcedony and the brownish-red variety carnelian. Black agate is onyx.
Agate is used for inexpensive jewelry, ornaments and even ash- trays and precision instruments.
It is found mainly in India, Brazil, Madagascar, China, Russia and Australia.
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.
