Notable agate varieties include carnelian, onyx, sard, fire agate, moss agate, iris agate, and Madagascar sea agate. While agate and jasper are both atomically the same stone, agate is distinguished by its translucency, whereas jasper is completely opaque. The two can form together in one stone. Both hard and durable, agate ranks 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs hardness scale. Due to the microcrystalline nature of how agate grows, stones are resistant to chipping and breaking. Agate jewelry can safely be put into chemical and ultrasonic cleaners. Show more
