Gobi Agate in his own spaceship - a photo on Flickriver

            All agates are unique and do not repeat.  We can observe many eyes on the mother body of agate - these are new nuggets in the future. 
Silicone form of life. 
In scientific geological circles, there are still disputes about the life of Agate. However, agate has been proven to be a form of life.
Agates - live, eat and breed. They have a male body (stratum) and a female body (geode). Spherulite agate contains both forms. Stratum is the outer shell and it have a skin, the geode is inside. But gobi agates do not lend themselves to scientific classification at all and show individuality, as if each specimen is a separate species, that is, they build their bodies the way they want and reproduce in different ways. Agate can slowly rearrange molecular bonds, turning the layer into a geode, without increasing in size. In general, the size for the development of Agatha is not the main thing. There are varieties of Agate that grow no more than a couple of millimeters. In geology there is no definition for these minerals, I called them "millimetres".
This form of life exists in another corridor of time. Human life is too short to observe agates in nature, it seems to us absolutely static. But in the DZI agate beads - a miracle! We can observe changes after they are created. It is safe to say that the bead is not millions of years old, perhaps hundreds or extremely rarely thousands of years old, however, the growth of the skin on the bead is obvious, as well as the formation of Dragon Blood, the overgrowth of cracks, the appearance of new layers ... This significantly narrows the time corridor for mineralogy.

 "Carbon chauvinism"
This term is a consequence of the assumption that everything that can be called living must be built primarily from carbon. It is clear that this form of life is closest to us, so it is extremely difficult for us to imagine a different biochemistry.
The author of the term, astrophysicist Carl Sagan, criticizing this point of view, suggested that the basis for its nomination is only the fact that its adherents themselves consist of carbon and water and absorb oxygen in the process of metabolism.
