A small-sized agate geode that bends to soft yellowish and pink. Agate is a small crystal form of quartz, often found in the form of geodes, translucent striped chalcedony. Its color is milky white, but sometimes also bluish, reddish, green and brown. Agate is an igneous rock whose stripes are created when the parent rock crystallizes simultaneously with the gas bubbles in the cavity. Agate is not always completely filled with molten mass and in this case rock crystal crystals, amethyst, smoky quartz or calcite can form in the cavity. In this case, an unevenly round stone is called a geode. Agate gets its name from the Sicilian river Achates, which was the place where agate was found in antiquity.
