What Is An AGATE? One of the semi-precious stones you can find in your
own backyard is agate. The "Lake Superior agate" can be found in
Minnesota and some parts of Lake Superior. This agate usually can be
found in red, yellow and orange colors. These colors are caused by
iron, a commonly found mineral in the Minnesota area. "Mojave Blue
agate" is found in California. Lots of great agate can be found in
Texas in areas such as Brewster, Jeff Davis, Gonzales and Uvalde
counties. Agate found in Moore county was used by Native Americans to
make tools and weapons. The quarry they used is located in Alibates
State Park. Agate is comes in many colors, usually with beautiful
stripes or spots and is a form of chalcedony quartz. Agate forms in
voids of lava flows. Over time the void fills with silica, iron and
other minerals creating layers of colors. |
