AGATE: Agates mostly occur as nodules in volcanic rocks or waters containing Silica in solution which is possibly derived from the decomposition of Silicates in the lava.
The Siliceous matter is deposited in regular layers resulting in the banded or striped formation.
AGATES TAKE 50 MILLION YEARS TO FORM.
YOU WOULD NEVER FIND AN EXACT DUPLICATE OF ANY TYPE OF AGATE!
