Agate
Agate is a classic gemstone that has used to create jewelry for thousands of years and is still extremely popular today.
Its popularity comes from the fine banding and vibrant colours that make this gemstone so unique.
Agate is a variation of quartz and in its pure form it would be colourless and translucent and the beautiful colours come from inclusions of different minerals like iron, manganese, chromium and many more.
