More information about Apricot Agate:
Apricot Agate is often used to produce beads, cabochons or tumbled stones. It is a popular
material because many people enjoy the soft fruity colors. Although some natural stone deposits
produce agates in apricot colorrs, some of the material sold is light-colored carnelian that is
