What is agate?
Agate is a very old (takes 50 million years to form) and widespread rock with bands of color on it. These color bands may be different shades of one color (such as blue lace agate, which has light and dark blue colors) or completely different colors on the same rock (such as iridescent agate, which shows all the colors of the rainbow under the right lighting).
Another important feature of agate is translucency - this means that light can pass right through the agate (especially near the edges).
Although some agates do not have bands and are classified as "agates", they are not considered true agates.
