Gem Silica
Gem silica is a bluish green to greenish blue variety of chalcedony often resembling the color of tropical ocean waters. Like turquoise, Gem slica receives its vivid color from the presence of copper. Other names this stone is often known as are “chrysocolla chalcedony” or “gem silica chrysocolla.”
Gem silica is the most valuable variety of chalcedony and can be more expensive than turquoise. It is rarely seen in jewelry as the stone is rare, costly, and the supply is limited. It is typically found in copper-rich areas, with the most significant deposits being located in Arizona, USA, Mexico, and Peru.

Nothing short of breathtaking Montana agate is filled with mysterious inclusions and organic-looking dendrites. Mainly consisting of silica, this hard stone and its unique physical appearance makes it a favorite among collectors and artisans.

Agate is the name given to numerous varieties of banded Chalcedony, a mineral of the Quartz family. Its name comes from the Achetes River in Sicily, where Agates were first found.

Called the earth rainbow, the concentric bands of Agate form in nearly every color the earth can produce, including a colorless form.
