I'm glad you used the word "fibrous", because that is a key difference between chalcedony and jasper. Jasper is granular, chalcedony is fibrous. Cheers!
Aren't Jaspers ROCKS, while agates are just cryptocrystalline(ultra microscopic crystals) polymorphs of Quartz? Also aren't Jaspers bioacumulated sediments, being composed of SiO2 rich skeletal remains of radiolarians, then compacted through diagenesis and forming either Radiolarites or Jaspers, then brought back through tectonic movement? I'd say key difference is one is a rock, one is a mineraloid.
@@mircea-andreigherasim9608 Jasper is neither necessarily bioacumulated nor necessarily clastic sedimentary. It can form in fractures as a type of chemical sedimentation too. Yes, you could say "jasper is a rock", but since agates tend to be sloid mixtures of various fibrous silica varieties, as well as other inclusive elements or minerals, one could accurately call them "rocks" as well. I was going for the 'fibrous' vs. 'granular' distinction, which is always the case. Also, you wouldn't say polymorphs of quartz, you would say polymorphs of silica, as all the stages of polymorph from opal, moganite, cristobalite, and chalcedony are all SiO₂ but exhibit different crystal lattice orientations, hence making them different minerals. Quartz occurs as only 2 distinct polymorphs, 'high' and 'low'.
Very talented putting together this educational video. The music background along with the pictures was well placed. Bravo, I think you have found your calling. This video also along with many more to come educational vids should be in every school.
_Mispronounces "chalcedony" in the very first sentence while showing a photo of dyed specimens_ I stopped it at six seconds to let you know those two mistakes back-to-back are a great way to get people to immediately stop watching.

@@thirstfast1025 I see your point noww, sorry for the missunderstanding, great explenation
This was a great visual representation of agate formation... beautiful job.

Fr professional quality here
Nice video. Appreciate the little bit of agate FPV. 😊
Thanks for this great info! 👍
Very informative. Thanks!
Great vid. Give us some more!
Good job. Make more please
Just subscribed. Very helpful and enjoyed learning the process of agate formations. Will help with my channel and understanding 🙏🏽. Have a lovely day
Excellent demonstration!
Amazing!! Awesome 👌 work!!!! Love the Channel!!!
This was a nice video
i loved geology
Wow! Amazing
Thank you, for sharing!!!
This is really well done!
Please add Turkish automatic subtitles translation feature to your channel.
Thank you!
Wonderful!

I do find agates in Jamaica
I love science
Wow
Thankyou
Simplicity does it.
I have many stones.I work for stone hand made dacorated item. in India(cambay). Khambhat (cambay, India) very famous for stone item's.
that blue ones like in your clickbait pic. they are dyed and not normal colour
👍👍💎👍❤️❤️❤️❤️

This stone name is carnelian
No one knows how agates form! Its all guesses. Read terry Moxoms research.
