Have you ever been curious about how agate is formed?
Agate is an ancient stone. About 100 million years ago, magma under the ground spewed out due to the changes in the earth’s crust, which is called Lava.
When the lava cooled, vapor and other gases formed bubbles. Bubbles are sealed when the rock froze, forming many holes.
As time went by, the silica-containing solution penetrated into the hole, and condense into silica gel.
Then the fusible substance with the iron-containing rock entered the silica gel, and finally, the silica crystallizes turned into agate stone.
What are the types of agate slabs we process?
There are three types of agate stone slabs. Solid Agate Stone, Agate Stone with glass backing, and Agate stone with stone backing. Solid agate is made of agate slices and glue, which can transmit light.
Agate with glass retains the light transmittance of agate. Agate with other stone packing does not have light transmittance, but it strengthens the hardness of the slab.
