Crystal Overview

Black Agate belongs to the Quartz family and is a dark variety of chalcedony, which itself is a microcrystalline form of quartz.

Unlike many transparent quartz varieties, Black Agate is composed of microscopic quartz crystals that form in compact fibrous layers over long geological periods.

Its attractive appearance, hardness, and resistance to weathering have made it popular for jewellery, carvings, talismans, ornaments, and decorative objects for thousands of years.
