People usually confuse agate with chalcedony, but it is easy to distinguish them as long as they know the relevant knowledge. Although the components of chalcedony and agate are timely (mainly silica), there are obvious differences. Because of the different forming conditions, the internal structure is also very different. Chalcedony belongs to water-bearing cryptocryst, which is closer to crystal, but agate is the gel of dehydrated silica. So the permeability of chalcedony is very strong, compared with agate.
