Repeated layers of silica create its delicate lace-like banding, while blue coloration arises from subtle structural and impurity effects within the chalcedony.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGEOLOGY \u0026amp; FORMATION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAgate forms when silica-rich fluids repeatedly line cavities and fractures, especially in volcanic rocks.
