  Agate: is the name given to a wide selection of Chalcedony, a form of microcrystalline Quartz (SiO2 - Silicon Dioxide) which is a cryptocrystalline. It is a hard stone, usually within the range of 7-9 on the Moh's scale. It is characterized by its fineness of grain and brightness of color. Although the same mineral compound as Jasper, Agate is usually more translucent while Jasper refers to its opaque relative. It should also be noted that the names for Chalcedony and Agate are often used interchangeably, although the term "Agate" is typically used to describe the banded varieties of Chalcedony.

Agate can be many different colors, and because its banding is so variable, different types of it have been given many different descriptive names. Many types of organic material have been fossilized by Agate, where the organic material has been replaced slowly over a long period of time, so that the original structure of the inclusion has been retained. Fossilized or petrified wood is an attractive form of Agate. Most Agate forms are naturally colored, while others are heated or permanently dyed for decorative effect.

This gemstone is specifically generated in eruptive rocks or in primeval lava zones and are often found in the form of rounded nodules or geodes. When split or sliced, these show their banding to good, sometimes startling effect. In some geodes there is a central cavity, in other the center is hollow. The Native Americans of the western American states referred to these Agate nodules as "thunder eggs".

Agate is the oldest stone in recorded history and has been used in jewelry since Biblical Babylonian times. Agates were used to ward off storms and were prized gems in antiquity. Traditionally, Agates with banded colors were once placed at the head of a sleeper to give rich and varied dreams. Agate is considered a protection stone. It is believed to attract strength and offer protection from bad dreams, stress and the draining of energy.

Agate is the Mystical birthstone for September. It is also the birth stone for the Zodiac sign of Gemini. Agate is the accepted gemstone for the 12th and 14th wedding anniversaries.
