Chalcedony (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

agate

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">chalcedony</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(agate is a kind of chalcedony)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for agate that I've seen before include "Semi-transparent stone" , "Quartz with bands of colour, used in jewellery" , "Banded ornamental stone" , "Hard stone with concentric bands of colour" , "Impure form of quartz with banded chalcedony, used as a gemstone" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun, The Telegraph and the Penny Press.
