Summary

Description

Agate ("Teepee Canyon Agate") from the Black Hills of South Dakota, USA. (public display, National Rockhound Hall of Fame, Murdo, South Dakota, USA)

"Agate" is a rockhound/collector term for cavities in rocks (usually sedimentary rocks such as limestone or igneous rocks such as basalt) that have been partially or completely filled with irregularly concentric layers of microcrystalline, fibrous quartz (chalcedony - SiO2). Agate is quartz.

Teepee Canyon Agate is derived from limestones of the Minnelusa Formation (Upper Pennsylvanian to Lower Permian), which outcrops in the Black Hills.
