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.

Fiber optics, which is used in the communication fields for the
transmission of signals or transmission of light is man made from glass
fibers. This heart is made from this type of material, hence you can
actually see through them when looking in the direction in which light or
sound would travel and they create a cats eye effect when looking at it
from the side or across the direction of the fibers.

Quartz
is the second most common mineral in the Earth's continental crust.
It is mainly composed of Silica or Silica based minerals. Although Quartz
is known by a variety of names, the most important distinction between types
of Quartz is that of macro-crystalline, individual crystals visible to the
unaided eye, and micro-crystalline, where aggregates of crystals are only
visible under high magnification. There are many forms of Quartz including
Chalcedony, Amethyst, Citrine, and Carnelian which are results of mineral
impurities or heat treatments.

Petrified Wood is a type of a fossil as it consists of fossil wood where
all the organic materials have been replaced with minerals while retaining
the original structure of the wood. These minerals are most often Silicates
such as Quartz. Other minerals, Manganese, Iron and Copper, in the water
or mud during the petrification process gives Petrified Wood a variety of
color ranges: black - Carbon; green/blue - Copper; red/brown/yellow - Iron.
Petrified Wood can preserve the original structure of the wood in all its
detail all the way down to the microscopic level. Structures such as
tree rings and the various tissues are often observed features. Although
Petrified Wood can be found worldwide, it is rather rare in larger quantities
and at times can be difficult to obtain by the average collector.

The term "shungite" was originally used in 1879 to describe a
mineraloid with more than 98 percent carbon. More recently the term has
also been used to describe shungite-bearing rocks, leading to some
confusion. Shungite has to date mainly been found in Russia. Shungite has
been used in medical treatment since the early 18th-century. "Peter the
Great" set up Russia's first spa to utilize the water purifying properties
of shungite and instigated its use in providing purified water for the
Russian army. The anti-bacterial properties of shungite have been
confirmed by modern testing.
