Okay so it is bluish-gray, but where are the banding patterns associated with an agate?


I am not saying this is not an agate, but in order to call it an agate it should have some type of a banding pattern. As it is, to me, it is just a bluish-gray quartzite pebble and nothing more. CHEERS.....BOB

there is no natural blue agate but all shades of natural very light blue are considered blue . I have many stones of very light blue shades .
