Black agate is a variety of chalcedony, a microcrystalline form of quartz, distinguished by its deep, dark tones.

These shades are due to the presence of iron and manganese impurities in its structure. Unlike some other types of agate, black agate is often more uniform in color, but it can also display subtle bands of gray and black, adding an intriguing visual dimension.
