    hello everybody, how agates vs jaspers was explained to me once is
    that agates let more light through than jaspers - in other words,
    the more opaque and solid the stone, it's a jasper. a stone with
    areas of translucence (?sp) is an agate. i'm sure there's more to
    the nomenclature than this, but this is how i've always separated
    the two. susannah
