Agate a quartz stone characterized by visible bands and bright colors. There several varieties of agate, many of which are named according to color or other distinguishing characteristic (i.e. Green Agate, Banded agate, Blue Lace Agate) and/or the location in which it is found (e.g. Oregon Snakeskin Agate, Mexican Lace Agate, Botswana Agate). While it was highly prized in ancient times and throughout history, agate is not considered a precious or rare stone.

In raw form, small pieces of agate are generally very inexpensive. However, when sold as a piece of jewelry or decorative item, the price may be considerably higher.

How much is agates worth?

That depends on a lot of things. Looking at agates posted for sale on Google, I see some for $15, and others for several thousand dollars. It looks like it depends on size, quality, cut, imperfections, etc. What I would do is compare the agates that you have to the ones that you see online for sale, and then determine what price you could get. The other option, but it might cost money, is to go to a gem expert and have your agate appraised.
