Agatiform

/əˈɡætɪfɔːrm/ adjective

Definition

Having the shape, structure, or appearance of an agate, or resembling an agate in form.

Etymology

From Latin 'agates' (agate) + '-form' (having the form of). This descriptive term applies to objects or geological formations that mimic agate's characteristic banded or layered appearance.

Kelly Says

Something agatiform looks like an agate even if it isn't one—it might have those beautiful bands and layers that make agates so gorgeous! This shows how scientists create words to describe appearance separate from actual composition, which matters a lot when identifying minerals.
