What other rocks / minerals are generally AGATES l?
Thanks: P
Most agates occur as nodules in volcanic rocks or ancient lavas where they represent cavities originally produced by the release of volatile materials in the fusion mass which was then filled in whole or in part, matter, by siliceous deposited in regular layers in the walls. These agates, cut transversely to present a series of parallel lines, often of extreme delicacy, giving an appearance of bands of the section. These stones are called bands of agate, agate and agate tape stripes. The first deposit on the wall of a cavity, forming the "skin" of the agate, in general, is a dark green mineral, like celadonite, or delessite "Greenland", which are rich in iron, probably derived from the decomposition of the augite in the enclosing volcanic rock. This green silicate May to give birth, by changing a brown iron oxide (limonite), producing a reddish color outside of the agate nodule. The outer surface of an agate, freed from its matrix, is often pitted and rough, apparently in response to the kidnapping original coating. The first diffusion layer in the wall cavity is called the seed, and on this basis, May zeolite minerals will be filed. Many agates are hollow, since deposition has not proceeded far enough to fill the cavity, and Here, the last deposit commonly consists of quartz, amethyst, often, with the tops of the crystals led to the free space to form a crystal-lined cavity or pocket. In the disintegration of the matrix in which the agates are embedded, they are released. Agates are extremely resistant to weathering and remain as nodules in the soil or are deposited as gravel in the rivers and coasts. ========================== Hope that helps a little, Goodluck DT
