Agate is a catchall term for a colourful variety of micro- or non-crystalline chalcedony or silica that displays attractive colours and/or striking forms or patterning. Agate is a semi-precious gemstone often carved and polished to make attractive stone faces, bowls, trinkets and other decorative objects. Leopard skin agate is a variety flaunting a mottled pattern of green and red dots and stripes that are faintly suggestive of the skin of a leopard.
