I have searched for an explanation for AGATE as the answer to 23ac Bodies in the ground alongside a stone (5). Someone told me that he had already answered and explained this clue and I clicked on the link he gave, but to no avail.
Despite my long and thorough search, I have been unable to find the explanation and would be very grateful to receive one.
I had AGATE as the answer simply because it was the only word that would fit! I do not undrstand how one arrives at AGATE. If someone patient could explain it to me I'd be very grateful.
I am sorry to have annoyed the person who replied to me but his response was unhelpful.
