Agates commonly occur in nodules within volcanic and metamorphic rocks. Gas bubbles trapped within the cooling rocks leave cavities which are then filled by water containing silica. As the layers of silica build up they create the typical bands of colour within. When the silica isn’t able to completely penetrate the cavity, they result in hollow crystal lined geodes. The principal components of the different varieties of agate are quartz and chalcedony. Different colours are due to the various oxides present, iron, chromium, and also manganese. The colourful varieties of agate frequently seen in jewellery include, Moss Agate, Blue Lace Agate and also Green Agate.
