Press Release Body: Agate occurs in most colors including black, gray, brown,
reddish, green, pink, blue, and yellow from transparent to opaque. Today, many of
these stones are artificially dyed to enhance the depth of color and to produce more
vivid tones than those found in nature. The stone in this pendant is not dyed and
shows the dramatic coloring found in Montana agates.

A hard stone, usually within the range of 7-9 on the Mohs scale agates are found in
all colors of the rainbow, although green and blue are quite rare.

There are thousands of localities worldwide where agate specimens have been found,
