Its characteristic banding is created when silicic acid solutions are deposited in layers within cavities of volcanic rock – a process that often takes millions of years. As a result, each slice shows a unique pattern; no two are alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp itemprop=\"name\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the black color natural?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp itemprop=\"text\"\u003eNo, this agate has been dyed – a common and traditional procedure that uses the natural porosity of the stone to visually emphasize the banding.
