Agate itself does not explode under normal conditions. However, if agate is subjected to extreme heat or rapid temperature changes, it can crack or break. Additionally, if agate is hollow and contains moisture, heating it could potentially cause the moisture to vaporize and create pressure, leading to a break or shatter rather than an explosion. Overall, while agate can break, it is not prone to exploding like certain materials.
