# Profile

## Lore

One of the members of Magical Agate team who volunteers as a magical girl with Iris Agate. It seems that she usually works at a flower shop.

While easygoing and will often agree to anything, an unintentional slip by Iris Agate caused a big misunderstanding in their event, which hurt her and became a disband crisis of the trio.

Initially Plum Agate wanted to return to Iris Agate and she longed for her, but after advice from Blue Lace Agate, she also understands it's best to keep her distance from Iris.

## Personality

Plum Agate is rather timid, and she often avoids directly confronting Iris or Blue Lace in an argument. Despite her shyness, she's brave enough to overcome her fears and face Zolne enemies head on, so one could say she's actually very strong-willed, as an actual coward would have already fled the scene and avoid fights.

Contrary to her youthful appearance, she has an adult-like body shape.

# Mineralogy

*Plum Agate is named for the cloudy patterns that often form within it. Plum Agate represents courage, action, and balance.*

Plum Agate is found at the eastern edge of the Deschutes Basin, northeast of the town of Madras, Oregon. PPlum Agate was first discovered in the 1920's by Leslie Priday on his ranch Priday Ranch, which was purchased in 1976 by Richardson’s Rock Ranch. Richardson’s Ranch is a large area that host pay for dig rock hounding. It is said that most of the high grade Plum has been dug out but nice “thunder eggs” can still be found.

Priday Plum Agates come in “thunder egg” formations. "Thunder eggs" are chalcedony filled masses that fill former cavities in volcanic rocks. The nodule formations are usually spherical in shape and look like ordinary rocks on the outside, but when cut have beautiful centers of agate or jasper. Plum Agate “thunder eggs” are usually small, but the agates inside contain a wonderful assortment of colors and patterns. They are considered agates because they are often at least partly translucent.

Agate /ˈæɡət/ is a common rock formation, consisting of chalcedony and quartz as its primary components, consisting of a wide variety of colors. Agates are primarily formed within volcanic and metamorphic rocks. Decorative uses of agates date back as far as Ancient Greece and are used most commonly as decorations or jewelry. The stone was given its name by Theophrastus, a Greek philosopher and naturalist, who discovered the stone along the shore line of the Dirillo River or Achates (Ancient Greek: Ἀχάτης) in Sicily, sometime between the 4th and 3rd centuries BC.

Agate minerals have the tendency to form on or within pre-existing rocks, creating difficulties in accurately determining their time of formation. Their host rocks have been dated to have formed as early as the Archean Eon. Agates are most commonly found as nodules within the cavities of volcanic rocks. These cavities are formed from the gases trapped within the liquid volcanic material forming vesicles. Cavities are then filled in with silica-rich fluids from the volcanic material, layers are deposited on the walls of the cavity slowly working their way inwards. The first layer deposited on the cavity walls is commonly known as the priming layer. Variations in the character of the solution or in the conditions of deposition may cause a corresponding variation in the successive layers. These variations in layers result in bands of chalcedony, often alternate with layers of crystalline quartz forming banded agate. Hollow agates can also form due to the deposition of liquid-rich silica not penetrating deep enough to fill the cavity completely. Agate will form crystals within the reduced cavity, the apex of each crystal may point towards the center of the cavity.

The priming layer are often dark green, but can be modified by iron oxide resulting in a rust like appearance. Agate is a very durable and therefore is often seen detached from its eroding matrix, once removed, the outer surface is usually pitted and rough from filling the cavity of its former matrix. Agates have also been found in sedimentary rocks, normally in limestone or dolomite; these sedimentary rocks require cavities often from decomposed branches or other buried organic material. If silica-rich fluids are able to penetrate into these cavities agates can be formed.
