    Hi: The agate is hydrothermic and has water trapped inside. Changes
    in the water molecule with subtile heat and barometric pressure
    acount for the varing degree of color intensity and hue. The rare
    iron ion #4 accounts for the blue color and the red cast when you
    past light thru it. If you would like I can send a sample for a
    small cost, The stone is very much an orientation stone. That way
    you get the best color. it seems that the hotter it gets the bluer
    it will be...more to the gray when your body temp is down and there
    is a heavy barometer... Unusual. yes. But this my experience with 
    the stone.     Ringman... Been hunting it for 15 years
