River agate is a type of agate that is found in or near riverbeds or other bodies of water. It is formed when water flows through cavities and fractures in volcanic rock, depositing layers of mineral-rich silica that eventually form agate.
River agate is often characterized by its translucent to opaque appearance and its banding or layering pattern, which is created by the deposition of minerals in alternating layers. The colors of river agate can vary widely, but may include white, brown, gray, black, and various shades of blue, green, or red.
