Microcrystalline quartz is known as chalcedony. There are three main types of chalcedony: onyx, jasper, and agate. When chalcedony appears translucent or semi transparent we refer to it is agate.
Agate can be one color, but it is generally made up of two or more colors. These colors can be banded as in the case of blue lace agate or crazy lace agate. It can also have more of a moss like appearance as in the case of moss agate and dendritic agate.
Agate is said to cleanse your aura and remove negativity. It is also said to enhance mental function and concentration. It comes in around a 7 on the Mohs scale so it is reasonably scratch resistant making it a good option for jewelry.
