Agate is a chalcedony. It occurs in nodular masses in rocks such as volcanic lavas. When split open, they reveal an amazing variety of colors and patterns. This banding is what distinguishes agate from other types of chalcedony.
Probably the most famous place that agate has been mined is Idar-Oberstein in Germany where it has been collected since 1548. Most agate today comes from the huge deposits in Uruguay and Brazil. Agate is also found in the United States, Mexico, Madagascar, Italy, Egypt, India, China, Scotland.
