Is Agate A Type Of Granite Or Quartz

762 Views    174 Likes

Essentially speaking, if we break it down to the basics, agate is technically quartz. It has all of the physical properties that are fairly similar to it, anyway.

Most of the agates found in the market today can be procured from the cavities of volcanic rocks or ancient lavas but they don't have the base building blocks of granite.

They have banded and successive structural layers that are more or less parallel to the sides of the cavity that they formed around.
