One of my students recently returned from her holiday travels, some of which took her to Montana. While there, she happened upon a pick made from agate, which she was good enough to secure for me for around $6.00.
It's pretty, but very thick, and makes a slight chirping sound especially when picking on the A and E strings. However, it is fine for strumming and actually starts to "stick" to your fingers after it warms up in much the same way that a V-Pick will do.
All in all, a keeper, and not just because of the nice gesture.

A local store here in Minnesota had some of those agate picks too (not sure where they were from).
You're right about the thickness. 
Nice pick, but too thick for me.

Agate is a stone/ rock. Thus the thickness and the rigidity of it.
