I know there are varying definitions of agate, but it looks like an agate to me! The real question is; does it taste like an agate...? 😉

Definitely a Quartz/chalcedony material. Does it qualify as agate? Probably.

Based on some input from this community I cut a slab and checked for translucence. Looks like a form a agate.
