Agates
There are many different kinds of agates but they all have a few things in common. They are part of the group of minerals called Silicates, which is the largest and most common class of minerals. Agates are a translucent form of Chalcedony, and are composed basically of Silicon dioxide SiO2, similar to quartz. They are a microscopic or cryptocrystalline form of silica, where as, quartz is a crystalline form of silica. Agates vary by the other chemical in them.
