SUNFLOWER AGATE CABOCHON HIGH POLISH STONE WHICH IS NOW READY FOR ANY SETTING ,

Most agates occur as nodules in volcanic rocks or ancient lavas where they represent cavities originally produced by the disengagement of volatiles in the molten mass which were then filled, wholly or partially, by siliceous matter deposited in regular layers upon the walls. Agate has also been known to fill veins or cracks in volcanic or altered rock underlain by granitic intrusive masses. Such agates, when cut transversely, exhibit a succession of parallel lines, often of extreme tenuity giving a banded appearance to the section. Such stones are known as banded agate, riband agate and striped agate.
