Fun facts
Coffee Agate is a descriptive trade name for warm brown banded agate rather than a formal mineral species. Agate itself is banded chalcedony, a microcrystalline form of quartz, and its bands form layer by layer as silica rich water fills a cavity in volcanic rock.
Care and cleansing
Agate is hard and durable (Mohs 6.5 to 7). Rinse briefly in lukewarm water and dry with a soft cloth; avoid harsh chemicals and long spells in direct sun, which can fade the banding. Cleanse with water, smoke, sound or moonlight.
