dGa' ba'i rDo rje (1998) discusses first some terms (dkar khra man, presented as the specific form of the nine-eyed gzi, gzi and khra man) and states that khra man or gzi stone is a type of agate (mchong gi rigs). Even though he does not present mchong as a general name, he mentions for a number of minerals that they are of the mchong type (mchong gi rigs) or identifies them as Agate : khra man, rdo'i snying po, chu snying, bel snabs, chu yi nor bu. Or he alludes to their similarity with mchong (khyung skyugs, gzi). Others are ambiguous with respect to their identification (chu chung ni la, lig bu mig).
Agates are part of the group of microcrystalline quartz or chalcedony. They are mostly found as nodules in cavities, the latter were formed when gas bubbles were trapped in cooling lava. These were filled with hot, silica-rich water which crystallised in a complex process into agates. When silica concentration in the silica gel is low, quartz crystals ( colourless or amethyst type) form around the center which remains hollow.
Higher silica concentrations form agates which are composed of bands of chalcedony fibres, and because the colors and patterns found in agates are so varied and so characteristic for the respective localities, that there is a confusingly large number of ever-changing varietal and trade names (mindat.org).
