AgeVaries by deposit
Origin & sourcesBrazil, Uruguay, India (Deccan Traps) and Indonesia, and also in agate-bearing volcanic rocks worldwide.
CompositionChalcedony (microcrystalline quartz), often coated in drusy quartz

How it forms

Silica-rich water dripped inside volcanic gas cavities and deposited chalcedony around tiny tubes, much as cave stalactites grow from calcite. They are often the core of amethyst and apophyllite stalactites.
