Their primary component is silicon dioxide (SiO2). Differences in their crystalline structures lead to their classifications: those with distinct crystal formations are termed "crystal," while those with less defined structures are called "chalcedony." (Agate is a type of chalcedony characterized by layered or irregular banded patterns). Within the crystal category, variations in trace elements result in a spectrum of colors. This includes amethyst, citrine, rose quartz, ametrine, smoky quartz, and morion. When crystals enclose visible mineral inclusions, they form highly prized varieties such as green phantom quartz, rutile quartz, super seven, strawberry quartz, rabbit hair quartz, and various other types of inclusion quartz.
