History & Facts
Brown Agate, like other agates, consists basically of chalcedony and quartz, where the brown shades have been created naturally over millions of years through the presence of iron oxide in the volcanic cavities where the stone formed. The stone can vary greatly in appearance and sometimes has spotted patterns that can be misleading. Stones with spotted patterns can often be confused with brecciated jasper.
Brown agate has a very ancient history stretching back thousands of years and has been used primarily for jewelry and decorative objects.
Agate is a gemstone closely related to onyx and chalcedony. Chalcedony is one of the components that agate is built from, along with quartz and other minerals. Agate is a compact stone, but despite this, it is not very hard; it is formed by lamellae/plates, which creates layers and bands in the stone. These bands are typical for the agate and are often what helps to identify the stone. Thanks to the crystal's malleability, it can often be found on the market in jewelry form.
