Where Does Agate Come From? 

Agate can be found in many countries worldwide.

This Agate Crystal is a crystal from Brazil, a country renowned for its high-quality Agate specimens. 

What Type Of Crystal Is Agate?

Agate is a form of translucent, Banded Chalcedony, Chalcedony itself being a cryptocrystalline variety of Quartz. 

What Is Agate Made Of?

All types of Quartz, including microcrystalline Chalcedony, of which Agates are a form of, are composed from silica (otherwise known as silicon dioxide), and are therefore classed as Silicate Minerals.

Quartz Stones vary widely in their crystal structures and are categorised based on these structural differences, as well as by their colours. 

Chalcedony Minerals, including Agate Stones, are microcrystalline in structure, which means you can't see the crystals inside the stone with the naked eye. 

Agate is a translucent/ semi-translucent form of Banded Chalcedony which displays an array of colourful patterns, such as the swirls and angular lines of Banded Agate, the circles and concentric patterns of Eye Agate, and the dendritic patterns seen in Moss Agate (Tree Agate). 

Other types of Chalcedony Gemstones include Jasper, the variety of Opaque Chalcedony, and Carnelian, a unique form of red-orange Chalcedony. 

Types Of Agate

Agate is a versatile stone which comes in many shapes, colours, and forms. 

Popular types of Agate include Moss Agate (otherwise known as Tree Agate), Cherry Blossom Agate (also known as Flower Agate), Banded Agate, and Orca Agate (also known as Ocean Agate). 

Purple Moss Agate is a unique form of Moss Agate with Purple Chalcedony.

Quartz Agate is another unique variety of Moss Agate which was found in a Moss Agate Crystal Bed alongside Tree Agate Crystals, but shows striking differences in composition and appearance to typical Moss Agate, mainly due to its high proportion of Blue Chalcedony Agate and Clear Quartz Crystals, whilst retaining some dendritic Moss Agate patterns.

Different coloured Agate Stones resonate with different chakras: this Agate Crystal resonates particularly strongly with the Root Chakra due to its earthy colouring.
