<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Named for the ''Achates'' river in Sicily, '''agate''' is a variety of microcrystalline quartz. Most specimens exhibit alternating bands of light and dark colors. When the bands are wide enough, solid color stones can also be present. There are dozens of agate varieties on the market. The following is a list of the better known types in [[ancient]] and [[medieval]] times:<br />
*chalcedony (uniform in color�in the narrow medieval sense, refers only to pale blue and gray varieties)<br />
*cornelian & sard (also known as carnelian, a variety of chalcedony ranging from pale orange to scarlet�when ''heat-treated'' the stone turns blood red; ''sard'' is the reddish brown variety)<br />
*chrysoprase (an apple green chalcedony; see also the entry on [[emerald]]s)<br />
*dendrite or "moss agate" (milky white mottled with olive green)<br />
*heliotrope or "blood stone" (teal green with blood red spots; when these spots are absent, the stone is referred to as ''plasma'')<br />
*onyx (alternate bands of creamy white, beige, and pale brown or tan)<br />
*sardonyx (alternating white and ruddy brown: while sardonyx does occur naturally, most speciemens on the market have been dyed in a process known as ''caramelisation''�onyx is boiled in honey or a sugar solution)<br />
*black onyx (alternate bands of white and jet black or gray; nearly all black onyx is dyed�following the sugar dye process, the stone is ''carbonised'' in sulphuric acid)</div>Ld Hærek
