They are the thick, round, hollow or spherical stones in volcanic regions that are filled with small crystals and quartz. In fact, the creation of these beautiful little crystals dates back to millions of years ago. In a very lengthy process where water penetrates into the cavities of such igneous hollow rocks, water-soluble silicon and calcite materials penetrate into the rock and adhere to its walls. Their best sources are Egypt, Brazil, Uruguay and Scotland.
Banded Agate
It is the most common type seen with regular light and dark bands.
