| Description |
English: Agate from Oregon, USA.
"Agate" is a rockhound/collector term for cavities in rocks (usually sedimentary rocks such as limestone or igneous rocks such as basalt) that have been partially or completely filled with irregularly concentric layers of microcrystalline, fibrous quartz (chalcedony - SiO2). Agate is quartz. Seen here is "Holley Blue Agate" (a.k.a. "Calapooia Purple Agate") from Oregon - it's composed of lavender- to purplish-colored chalcedony. This material is hosted in weathered/decomposed tholeiitic basalts of the Little Butte Volcanic Series (Oligocene). Locality: unrecorded/undisclosed site in Linn County, western Oregon, USA |
