Agate is a silicon dioxide, a rock formation containing quartz and chalcedony as its primary properties. Agates are mostly formed within volcanic and metamorphic rocks. Agate often forms on or within pre-existing rocks some of which have been dated to around 3000 million years ago. Agates have been found in sedimentary rocks, normally in limestone and dolomite.
