Agate is part of the quartz group and occurs in large numbers.

Agate has a wide variation of patterns. There's banded agate, cloud like agate, tree agate, moss agate, lace agate and flower agate.

There are also other materials that can contain agate, for example amethyst. 

Since all agates are different, it's nice and recommended to look for a personal piece that fits you and/or your needs.

Agate will help you with your mental development.

For people that deal with depression and sadness, it's important to know that they should not choose an agate with an open core (agate slices/slabs). Instead, it's recommended to go for an agate with a closed and light core. It will help them grow towards the light.

For those who are looking for peace and rest, a banded, light coloured agate is recommended. It will bring them peace and balance. It will also help guide them towards their goal(s) with peace.
