The English name jadeite comes from the abbreviation of Spanish plcodejade, which means a gem worn on the waist. The name of jade comes from the name of a bird. This bird has very bright feathers. Male feathers are red, female feathers are green, and the famous kingfishers are collectively called jadeite. So there is a saying in the industry that Fei is a man and Cui is a woman. In the Ming Dynasty, Burmese jade was named "Jade" after it was introduced to China. Emerald original stone jadeite belongs to pyroxene, monoclinic and perfect cleavage. The main component is sodium aluminum silicate (NaAlSi2O6, only gemstones containing more than 50% sodium aluminum silicate are regarded as jadeite), which is produced in metamorphic rocks generated at low temperature and high pressure. It often coexists with glaucophane, muscovite, andalusite (anorthite dihydrate), aragonite and Yingshi. Mohs hardness is 6.5-7, specific gravity is 3.25-3.35, and melting point is 900- 1000℃. Jade in a broad sense refers to the commercial name of gemstone jadeite with commercial value, which is the general name of gemstone jadeite with various colors. The concept of jadeite in a narrow sense only refers to those green gem-grade jadeite rocks. Geologically, jadeite is called fibrous aggregate composed of pyroxene minerals, and jadeite rocks are mainly composed of Cr (Cr). Gem-grade jadeite flakes are very close to the theoretical value of jadeite in terms of composition. It is one of the most precious and valuable jade, and is called "the crown of jade". Because it is deeply loved by people in some countries and regions in the East, it is called "the treasure of the East" by the international jewelry industry.
Myanmar is the main producing area of jadeite, and the first-class jadeite is produced within hundreds of square kilometers of Lulu River, a tributary of Irrawaddy River in Myanmar. As the saying goes, "gold is easy to get, jade is hard to find." The uniqueness of jadeite origin, the complexity of mineralization and the uncertainty of output make jadeite rarer and more collectible than diamonds.
Agate, English name: anate According to records, agate is called "agate" because its original stone shape is similar to that of horse brain. There are records of agate deeds in both the Old Testament and Buddhist classics. In the east, it is one of the seven treasures.
Agate can be divided into chalcedony and agate. The original stone with uncomplicated color is called chalcedony, and the original stone with straight and parallel stripes is called striped agate (cut agate). According to the color of the original stone, there are silk-wrapped agate, deep red agate, big red agate, grass agate with different green degrees, deep red agate and often accompanied by black red and black red agate, and so on.

Fuxin is one of the main producing areas of agate in China. Fuxin agate has six characteristics, such as large output, many varieties, full color, beautiful texture, excellent texture and strange material shape, which are accompanied by strong cultural heritage. Fuxin agate resource reserves account for 50% of the total reserves in China.
Shi Ying crystal is a colorless and transparent large-scale timely crystal mineral. Its main chemical composition is silicon dioxide. The chemical formula is silicon dioxide. Crystal is colorless, purple, yellow, green and smoky. Glass luster. Transparent to translucent. Hardness 7. Sexually fragile. No cleavage. Crystal density: 2.56-2.66g/cm3. Refractive index of crystal: 1.544- 1.553, which is almost within this range. Crystal dispersion: 0.0 13. The melting point of the crystal is 17 13℃.
The meaning of different shapes of crystals:
Seven-star array: an equilateral triangle with a size of seven, that is, seven inches or seven points on each side, overlapping up and down. Put a crystal column or ball on each corner and a slightly larger main stone in the middle, which is the seven-star array. Visualize the seven stars every day to form a good energy field. Different crystals have different uses. White seven-star array can eliminate disasters and purify the body; Green seven-star array is helpful to the smooth success of the cause; Lotus array brings love; Tea crystals increase the chance of unexpected harvest; Amethyst array helps to develop wisdom, stimulate creativity and so on. You can also use colorful crystal balls of white, yellow, green, purple, black, wool and powder to make colorful arrays and pray for what you want. Cornucopia: A round agate ball, cut open, is actually empty in the middle, forming a spherical basin covered with tiny crystals, such as autumn frost and winter snow, which shine charming under the light. Agate is colorful, so it is not an exaggeration to call it cornucopia. Jubao breeds metaplasia, which is amazing. The cornucopia is also called the dragon cave. In this relatively closed cave, crystals generate, reflect, act and oscillate, forming an excellent cornucopia gas place. Putting your own treasures or wishes into it, plus meditation and prayer, will get twice the result with half the effort. Pyramid crystal: gather energy, seek happiness and avoid evil. Water gallbladder crystal: magical and supernatural. Landscape crystal: the epitome of nature, the window to communicate between man and nature. Crystal ball: Whatever. Used for meditation and prediction, it is a symbol of magical power. The crystal ball represents perfection, roundness and harmony, which helps to achieve perfection. Hexagonal column: stands for stability and peace. It is said that hexagon is the most stable shape in nature.

Production of crystals:
Basically, the most important component of crystal is "silicon dioxide", which is also the most important mineral, occupying more than 65% of the crust components. It also contains various trace metals, so it will cause crystals of different colors; Moreover, crystals are widely associated with various minerals in nature, such as mica, feldspar, calcite, tourmaline, rutile, granite and so on. The growth environment of crystals is mostly underground and caves, which requires rich underground water sources, and groundwater mostly contains saturated silicon dioxide. At the same time, the pressure in it is about two to three times that of atmospheric pressure, and the temperature is between 550 and 600℃. If given proper time, the crystal will follow the natural law of "hexagonal system" Usually, in the ideal environment controlled by human beings, that is, when the physical and chemical conditions meet the above conditions, the growth rate of crystals is about 0.8 mm per day. This is also the standard production speed of many intraocular lenses in laboratories and factories. The crystal thus cultivated is the so-called "synthetic Shi Ying", which is usually cut into chips and used in electronics, computer and communication industries. Some people call it "breeding Shi Ying". Although they use different words, they actually mean the same thing. Generally, the thickness of industrial intraocular lens is about 3 cm, that is, 30mm, and it takes about 40 days to grow. It generally takes about180 days for jewelry industry to grind a crystal ball with a size above 10 cm (100mm). However, this speed is only possible in the most ideal environment controlled by human beings. In nature, the situation is not so optimistic because of raw materials, water quality, temperature, pressure and other conditions. Are constantly changing, it is difficult to achieve the ideal situation. It usually takes tens of thousands or millions of times to achieve the same growth. This is the reason why the "geological age" movement takes "million years" as the calculation base, and it is also the precious place of "crystal rock". When a normal crystal is growing, people often find that the growth line is parallel to the cylindrical tip line. Because of the small growth space in underground and caves, especially in the event of earthquakes or crustal changes, they are even easily squeezed by other minerals, and different "crystal planes" often appear. Also, when crystals are still in liquid state, they are often wrapped by other minerals and marls and grow together, such as rutile (which will become crystals later), volcanic marls (which will become phantom crystals later) and so on. These are "part of nature", please don't treat them as "flaws".
