About Agate –

Agate is a banded form of chalcedony, the finely grained cousin of quartz, and no two pieces are ever alike. Its layered bands, eyes and landscapes come in every earthy colour, and Scotland has some of the most prized agates in the world, collected from beaches and old volcanic hills.

Silica-rich fluids seep into gas bubbles and cavities in volcanic rock and deposit chalcedony layer by layer over long periods, recording each change in chemistry as a new band.

Cool Facts –

Agate forms in gas bubbles left in cooling lava, filling layer by layer with silica-rich water over millions of years.

Scotland is famous for its agates – the beaches and fields of Fife and Angus have been searched for "Scotch pebbles" for centuries.

It is named after the Achates river in Sicily, where the Greeks first collected it.

The name comes from the Achates River in Sicily, where the Greek writer Theophrastus described the stone around 2,300 years ago.
