Cracked agate refers to a type of agate gemstone that has been intentionally treated to create visible fissures or cracks, enhancing its aesthetic appeal. This process often involves heating or other methods to produce a unique, dramatic appearance. The resulting stone is typically used in jewelry and decorative items, showcasing vibrant colors and intricate patterns created by the cracks. However, it is important to note that while these stones may look striking, they may not possess the same value or durability as untreated agate.
