Cinco de Mayo Agate is varied in
color and pattern, but tends to be a mossy plume pattern with red, yellow and
white being the predominant colors. It is nice, solid vein material and therefore
is excellent material for producing slabs.
Agate is a form of microcrystaline
quartz. It is usually formed in nodules and has transparent, or translucent portions.
As with all of the other species in the quartz family, agate takes a high polish
with cerium oxide, but also takes a fine polish with tin oxide and diamond. Mohs
hardness 7.
