message: The image is wonderful but I am wondering how to tell moss agate from tree agate.  What is the difference?  Boris B 04:58, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Wikipedia needs to get hold of a different photo of "polished agates of various colors". At least half of the agates shown in the current version of that photo are of various colors because they've been dyed -- and blatantly, too. It's like illustrating a discussion of different types and textures of human hair with a photo of rainbow-colored dynel wigs.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.203.146.16 (talk) 06:00, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Removed it - the image page states they were dyed. Don't need phoney pics. Vsmith (talk) 14:24, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

message: I notice that text on formation is lifted from the Encyclopedia Brittanica of 1910. Perhaps a SME could review the geology portion for accuracy  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Freesesj (talk • contribs) 15:28, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

message: I've removed the recently added 3d gallery of agate slabs. I don't see the need for more images, especially in 3d of polished slabs. If we need 3d it surely would be for something with "depth" rather than a flat slab. Vsmith (talk) 23:43, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

message: "Polyhedroid" agate is a term commonly used on the Internet to describe a crystal which has grown with many flat sides or faces and which shows a distinct pattern of concentric polygons when cut across. I don't know whether it is an "official" description or just a popular one, but either way it appears common enough to need mentioning. Can someone add something appropriate to the article? — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 13:16, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Seems to be just a "sales pitch" term by rock & gem sales sites. Doubtful that a WP:reliable source exists - let me know if you find one. Vsmith (talk) 21:22, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for your reply. Google found some RS for me :-) so I added it to the article myself. I couldn't check the citations directly, but I found them on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln web site (which I added to the External links), so I hope that's OK. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 11:28, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
