AND HERE'S THE FIRST OF THE SEVERAL B-SIDES. THE IDEA OF THESE IS THAT THEY ARE LOOSELY BASED ON THE ORIGINAL WITH A FEW DESIGN CHANGES.  
  
BUT I'M NOT JUST STOPPING AT SHOWCASING DIFFERENT DESIGNS OR MODIFICATIONS OF WHAT THE ORIGINAL IS.  
  
MORE GEMSTONE FACTS BEGIN *NOW*:  
  
AGATE IS A FORM OF CHALCEDONY, FORMED WITHIN VOLCANIC AND METAMORPHIC ROCKS. THE COLORING IS DEPENDENT ON THE REGION IT IS FOUND. MOST AGATE IS OFTEN FOUND WITH WHITE STREAKS; ONE PRIMARY VARIETY SHOWCASES REDS AND YELLOWS. BECAUSE AGATE IS A CRYPTOSILICATE, THERE ARE SILICATE-RELATIVE HAZARDS THAT COULD OCCUR WHEN PROCESSING IT.  
  
IT HAS A MOHS HARDNESS OF 6.5.

UNLIKE THE DIG 1 B-SIDES THIS IS NOT BASED ON PRIOR IDEAS OR PROTOTYPES, BUT SIMPLY TRANSFORMING OR CONSTRAINING THE ORIGINAL IDEA INTO SOMETHING DIFFERENT. :D
