Agate is a microcrystalline variety of the quartz group, a type of chalcedony of various colors that usually presents chromatic bands. There are many types of agates, their color depends on the different materials they may contain. The most abundant are gray, although we also find them in yellow, orange, white, blue, brown and pink.

Being a porous mineral can sometimes be dyed with bright colors, as in the case of fuchsia agate, intense blue agate or dark green.

Agate in its natural state usually occurs in the form of inclusions within ovoid or spherical cavities of volcanic rocks. When an agate geode is opened, crystallizations of quartz, amethyst or calcite usually appear inside.

Its hardness is 7 on the Mohs scale and can be translucent or opaque, depending on its thickness.
