Answer 1

Answer:

b ) eyes like a quartz stone

Answer 2

Answer:

Agate Eyes are most often found in Agate nodules, which are usually created when silica precipitates in the rock cavity.

These cavities can be in the form of lava flows, fractures in the rock layers, or fossils that have dissolved over time.

When the first silica layers have been deposited in the cavity walls, round droplets of silica gel begin forming in the walls.

They crystallize and additional layers form, creating a concentric eye pattern.

This origin that can be found in the walls of the cavity explains why Agate Eyes are found in the outer Agate nodule ‘husk’.

Agate Eyes exhibit one or more concentric markings which are known as eyes. This stone is quite rare, but there are quite a few localities that produce Agate Eyes.
