Aquamarine is a sky-blue to sea-green variety of Beryl, ma rgad (mindat.org)
Agate is a distinctly banded fibrous chalcedony where the chalcedony fibers grow from the walls to the interior of a cavity, and a concentric, onion-like pattern develops. Agate can be colourless, white, red or any colour due to embedded minerals. Multicoloured specimens are quite common (see also lig bu mig, gzi and rdo'i snying po). 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).
