[Rockhounds] let's play Name That Agate?

[Alan Goldstein]

It is a type of jasper with one third less calories than the regular 
material. You know -- like a geodilite, chalcedonilite, and who can forget 
those banded Brazilian agalites! Ideal for collectors who don't have a lot 
of room and for lapidary folks who make small jewelry.
