Facts about Agate Nearly all agates occur as nodules in volcanic rocks. These were then filled partially or wholly by siliceous matter. The matter was deposited in regular layers on the walls. These agates when cut transversely show a succession of parallel lines. Giving agate its banded appearance. Such stones are known as banded or striped agate. Many agates are hollow with the last deposit commonly consisting of quartz, often amethyst. The crystals are directed towards the free space forming a crystal-lined cavity or geode. Industry today uses varieties of agate to make functional items such as pestles and mortars, inkstands, and seals. Agate may also be made into jewelry and used for the end of paper knives.
