"Breccia" or "brecciated" is the term for rock that has been shattered by geologic forces and later cemented back together by means of percolation and solidification of mineral-rich solutions.
Sowbelly Agate, also known as Vein Amethyst, is a formation of banded chalcedony, quartz and amethyst. It is especially unique because most specimens contain dendritic native silver branching throughout the chalcedony. This gorgeous material is collected from the Last Chance Mine in Creede, Colorado and is considered the throw-away material (tailings).
