Agate (Banded) | Tumbled

Agates are known for their beautiful banding and variety of colors. Comprised of the minerals chalcedony and quartz, Agate naturally forms within volcanic cavities and pre-existing rock formations. Agates can be found all over the world, specifically in volcanic rock beds, on the shores of beaches and riverbeds, and in the deserts of many western states. 

Agate is one of the most common materials used in the art of stonecutting and has been recovered at a number of ancient sites, indicating its widespread use in the ancient world. Agates have been discovered with the artifacts of Neolithic people and were used by the early Egyptians before 3000 B.C. The stones were also utilized in jewelry in ancient India.
