Introduction

Introduction

Green Agate is a variety of chalcedony that exhibits soft, translucent green hues, often with natural banding or moss-like inclusions. Its gentle color and smooth texture make it a favorite for refined beadwork and everyday elegance.

Green Agate forms in volcanic rock cavities where silica-rich water deposits layers over time. The green color comes from trace amounts of iron or chlorite minerals. It is typically found in Brazil, Uruguay, and India.
