(med) Agate, SiO₂ (Drungtso 1999, Phrin Las 1987). Synonyms : khra man, gzi, chu chung na'i la ya (Yeshi 2018). See also gzi and rdo'i snying po. Agate is a variety of Chalcedony, which is a form of microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂). Because the colors and patterns found in agates are so varied and so characteristic for the respective localities, there is a confusingly large number of ever-changing varietal and trade names (mindat.org).
