Moroccan Agate

Q: What is Moroccan Agate made of?

Moroccan Agate has the chemical formula SiO₂, crystallises in the trigonal (microcrystalline) system and measures 6.5 – 7 (Mohs) on the Mohs scale. Moroccan agates are banded chalcedonies formed in the gas cavities of Paleozoic and Mesozoic volcanic and sedimentary rocks across the Anti-Atlas and adjacent regions. Fine layered deposition of silica, tinted by iron and clay-rich waters, produces the characteristic pale blue-grey and sand bands.
