Special Notes

Generally Agate and Chalcedony are pretty much interchangeable names in the metaphysical and jewellery shops.
Agate is usually found in volcanic rock often with quartz or amethyst growing into the cavity of the nodule.
Red Agate is also called Carnelian.
Onyx is Black Agate or Black + White stripped Agate.
- However waxy feeling stones called "Onyx" from Pakistan and Mexico (often in banded greens, yellows &/or tans) are Calcite and not Onyx!
Bloodstone:
- "Classic" bloodstone is dark green or dark green-blue with red spots or blotches,
  - representing green chalcedony with red inclusions of iron oxide or red jasper.
- There is also a grey chalcedony with red spots version.
- Plasma Bloodstone is if colours are yellow spots and blotches against green chalcedony
Sardonyx is
- If colours are red + brown and/or black
- i.e. chalcedony layered with sard. Or rather combination of onyx and sard, better known variety has red sard.
Fancy Jasper or Fancy Agate is if colours are purple variations with green, brown, tan and from India. Alternate name is Seftonite.
Most strong blue, pink, green or purple agates, as in slices, jewellery and book-ends is actually coloured/dyed - they look too unnatural in colour so easy to identify.
- Only the blue colour survives the sun's rays. All other colours tend to fade.
- Why colour? Most agate is an unattractive grey-tan colour which is difficult to sell. Bright colours do better.
Most commercial green or blue onyx jewellery is dyed/coloured chalcedony.
Most black onyx jewellery is dyed to enhance black.
Agate geodes can be mistaken for Thunder Eggs.
