Agates are a combination of mineral formations that begin in the cavity of a rock. Once harvested and polished, agates are decorative natural elements for crafts and home decor.
Agate is a common translucent variety of quartz (silica) of various colors and waxy luster. Agate is the most common form of quartz and has been used as a gem and ornamental for a long time. Agate resembles flint, jasper, tiger’s eye and petrified wood in both chemical composition and physical properties. Sometimes agate is found accompanied by opal. Agate is characterized by colorful, banded rocks primarily used as an inexpensive gemstone and in the production of grinding machines.
Agate is found all over the world. Important sources of agate are the United States, Brazil and Uruguay. In the United States, it is found in many western states like Washington, Montana, Idaho and Oregon. Arizona is famous for its petrified wood agate. Petrified Forest National Park is the source of petrified wood agate in the U.S. Petrified wood agate ranks third in commercially valuable gemstones worldwide.
