    It looks like Ganoksin has a whole book on the subject online. On
    doing a search for "agate+to dye" I came up with 

    http://www.ganoksin.com/borisat/nenam/gemstone-dyeing.htm 

    I am not practiced at using the archives. I am sure there is an
    easier way to get to it. In there (Introduction to Gemstone
    Coloration and Dyeing) the chemicals are listed for making the
    different colors. The method that this gentleman reccommends uses
    chemicals dissolved in water. I do have a very old set of dyes in
    powdered form that are to be dissolved in alcohol. But these may be
    the ones he says do not give the best results. 

Hope this helps.
