Agate, a cryptocrystalline variety of the mineral quartz

Agate, a cryptocrystalline variety of the mineral quartz, whose variegated colours are distributed in regular bands or zones, in clouds or in dendritic forms, as in moss agate. The banding is usually in parallel lines of different colours, sometimes straight, sometimes undulating or concentric. The bands represent the edges of successive layers of deposition from solution in cavities in rocks. It is found in many localities; India, Brazil, Uruguay and Germany are known for fine specimens

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of Agate, a cryptocrystalline variety of quartz. The intricate patterns and variegated colors are distributed in regular bands or zones, creating a stunning visual display. Whether appearing as clouds or dendritic forms, such as moss agate, the banding is characterized by parallel lines of different hues. These lines can be straight, undulating, or even concentric in nature. The bands themselves represent the edges of successive layers that have been deposited from solution within cavities found in rocks. This geological process gives rise to the unique appearance and charm of Agate. Fine specimens of this mineral can be found across various locations worldwide including India, Brazil, Uruguay, and Germany. In this particular print by Science Photo Library, we are invited to appreciate the natural wonder that is Agate without any commercial connotations.
