These stones are found in several collecting sites in the southwest and are unique to that area. They are often mistaken for Opal with their beautiful play of color, but are actually much harder. The iridescent colors are caused by layers of iron oxide caught within the quartz. The rainbow effect is best brought out by cutting the stone as a cabochon, which can be tricky as the colors often have a bubbly formation. Many finished cabochons are not smooth, but contoured to follow the lines of color. This stone can occur in a variety of colors, usually red and green with some yellow, with the blue and violet colors being the rarest and most sought after. Metaphysical – Agates are considered to promote happiness, good manners, intelligence, good health and have curative powers. Track Page Views WithAuctiva's FREE Counter
