Agate, unlike solid colored gems, comes in an almost innumerable variety of colors. The formation of the minerals that can be found in agates lend themselves to distinct designs and patterns. While the mineralogist have their names for these, so do jewelry artists. Here is a brief list of just some of the agates that I prefer.
Blue Lace Agate
Landscape Agate
Moss Agate
Plume or Spotted Agate
Tree Agate
As I get pictures of others, I will add them. There is a very interesting Eyeball agate but most of those are already in jewelry.
