Yellow Agate

The history of agate is very distant. About 100 million years ago, underground magma was ejected in large quantities due to changes in the earth’s crust. When the lava cooled, steam and other gases formed bubbles. The air bubbles are sealed when the rock freezes, creating many holes. Much later, the holes were dipped into a solution containing silica and coagulated into silica gel. The fusible components of the iron-bearing rock enter the silica gel, and finally the silica crystallizes into agate.

In mineralogy, yellow agate belongs to the group of chalcedony, which are chalcedony of different colors and distributed in rings. Usually, the colloid of silica is gradually filled to the center along the wall of the cavity or void of the rock, forming a concentric layered or parallel layered block. It is generally translucent to opaque, with a hardness of 6.5 to 7 degrees, a specific gravity of 2.55 to 2.91, and a refractive index of 1.535 to 1.539. Agate can be formed in various strata of geological history, both igneous and sedimentary.
