Amethyst sage agate properties

The sage amethyst agate, found exclusively in the Bilk Mountains of northern Nevada (USA), is a rare stone that blends the lilac hues of agate with the violet-lavender of amethyst. Translucent like chalcedony, it is streaked with black manganese veins, adding to its mysterious character.

There is an ongoing debate among mineralogists regarding the classification of this stone. Some consider it a variety of amethyst due to its color, while others view it as more akin to agate or chalcedony. This uncertainty arises from the absence of color bands, a feature typically associated with agate, but lacking in this case. Nevertheless, its classification as a chalcedony is more widely accepted due to its chemical composition and crystalline structure.
