Quartz

The quartz – agate mineral can be adopted for £50 for 1 year or £125 for 3 years.

This Quartz geode shows a banded formation of agate surrounding a cavity infilled with Quartz rock crystals. Agates are formed when water filters through a rock, depositing a coating of silica. Many Agates are hollow, allowing the formation of the crystal – lined cavity.
