    Hi Carrie, The only stone I know as blue agate is blue *lace* agate,
    and (as I'm sure you know) that's a baby blue with white striping. 
    I have some blue calcite that is dark blue, pretty opaque...let me
    know if you want me to scan it and send a pic to you.  If your blue
    quartz is translucent and faceted, it may be some of the "fruit
    quartz" (blueberry quartz, pineapple quartz, and so on) that seems
    to be everywhere...but the consensus is that it's really glass. 
    Hope that helps some!
