What is Agate?
Agate is a rock composed of layers of Quartz, sometimes of different colors. It is distinguished by its brightly colored bands and has been one of the most popular semi precious gemstones for over 2,000 years. Small fractures, holes or pits are natural and common in Agate of this size. Some Pewter Figurines are mounted on a natural Agate base which was sliced on a Diamond saw and subsequently polished to a high luster.
