Agates mostly occur as nodules in volcanic rocks or waters
containing Silica in solution which is possibly derived from the
decomposition of Silicates in the lava. The Siliceous matter is deposited
in regular layers resulting in the banded or striped formation. It is very
unlikely that you would ever find an exact duplicate of any type of Agate,
Brazilian or other. |

Fluorite, also referred to as fluor-spar, is a mineral composed of
Calcium Fluoride. It is a widely occurring mineral found world wide and
is often found with metallic minerals such as Galena, Sphalerite, Barite,
Quartz and Calcite. Fluorite may fluoresce strongly in ultraviolet light
which may be due to the presence of some impurities such as Yttrium. Blue
is the most common color but red, purple, green, yellow and white are also
frequent. It can be used in high performance telescopes, camera lens,
enamels and in the making of opalescent glass. |
