agate (chalcedony) (chalcedony, quartz (mineral), ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Cryptocrystalline chalcedony, showing a variegated banded structure and waxy luster. Agate bands are caused by the deposition of successive mineral layers from solution and may be either straight, wavy, or concentric. Agate is slightly harder than quartz. It has been gathered or mined since Neolithic times. It may distinguished from onyx by the parallel structure of the bars in onyx. |

Arabic ..... العقيق الكريبتوبلوري، يُظهر بنية ذات نطاقات متنوعة وبريق شمعي. تنتج خطوط العقيق عن ترسب طبقات معدنية متتالية من المحلول وقد تكون إما مستقيمة أو متموجة أو متحدة المركز. العقيق أصلب قليلاً من الكوارتز. لقد تم جمعها أو استخراجها منذ العصر الحجري الحديث. ويمكن تمييزه عن العقيق اليماني من خلال البنية المتوازية للقضبان الموجودة في العقيق. |
Chinese (traditional) ..... 一種潛晶質的石英,為條帶狀玉髓。 |
Dutch ..... Een cryptokristallijne variant van kwarts; een gestreepte calcedoon. |
