Agate is a variety of chalcedony, characterized by its fine grain and bright colours. It forms in volcanic rocks and ancient lavas where silica-rich waters filled cavities, creating bands of various colours. Banded agate, specifically, is prized for its distinct and captivating layers that add a unique charm to any piece of jewellery.
