Agatelike

/əˈɡeɪtlaɪk/ adjective

Definition

Resembling an agate; having the striped, banded, or translucent qualities of agate stone.

Etymology

From 'agate' (a banded mineral/gemstone, from Greek 'akhatēs,' possibly from the Achates River in Sicily) plus English '-like' suffix.

Kelly Says

Agates form in layers over millions of years, creating nature's own striped artwork—so 'agatelike' doesn't just mean 'stone-like' but specifically those beautiful banded and glowing patterns.
