Agate is a very attractive and colourful rock that was loved ever since ancient Greek civilisation where the rock has been found as decoration throughout Knossos in Crete. It's always been used in art and jewellery over the centuries. Despite all it's loveliness, people working in agate have suffered respiratory diseases caused mainly by silica dust. In a way agate is harmful when it comes to grinding. However, a number of weird looking agate rocks have been discovered.
The Cookie Monster agate is a happy looking face found inside a natural agate rock. There wasn't just one such Cookie Monster, but more! This pair of Cookie Monster agates were found in Brazil. An egg shaped stone was cracked open to reveal a pair of smiling cookie monsters! Check out the link to find these and other interesting agates:
