What Is Quartz Agate Made Of?

Chalcedony gems such as Agate are microcrystalline in structure, which means you can't see the crystals inside the stone.
Agate is generally distinguished from other types of Chalcedony due to its banded patterns and translucency: for example, Jaspers tend to be opaque and you cannot see through them if you shine a light through them.
Other types of Chalcedony gemstones include Jasper and Carnelian.
