Cyclops (rock) - Definition and Overview

A Mexican agate, showing only a single eye, has received the name of cyclops. Included matter of a green colour, like fragments of "green earth," embedded in the chalcedony and disposed in filaments and other forms suggestive of vegetable growth, gives rise to moss agate.
