Apricot Agate is a semi-precious stone noted for its apricot color and subtle white, cream, or pale pink bands. Agate is a variegated form of Chalcedony, which is a fibrous form of Quartz. When cut and polished, beautiful striations are exposed. The beauty of these stones is often enhanced by various treatments to brighten or change their color, as is the case with apricot Agate which is commonly developed from naturally-grey agates.
