It has several natural small surface pits and fracture lines. It is translucent in the middle with white plumes.
Agate is a member of the chalcedony family, or a microcrystalline quartz, and it has a hardness of about 7 on the Moh's scale. The name is derived from its occurrence at the Achates River in southwestern Sicily. Plume Agate gets its name from the beautiful plume like shaped inclusions.
