Agate stone has natural color and is dyed after post-processing. Natural colors are mainly red, amber and white. Among them red is the best. The blue-purple agate jewelry sold in the market is not true, but dyed after processing, and will fade after several years of use. The dyed agate is mostly natural variegated, which is not easy to be directly processed into jewelry. How to identify agate ornaments? Agate bracelets can be identified from three aspects.
Temperature: Real agate is warm in winter and cool in summer, while artificial agate changes with temperature. It gets hot when it's hot and cool when it's cold. How to choose agate ornaments? First of all, choose according to your favorite color. Red agate jewelry is the most expensive. If you choose an agate necklace, you should pay attention to the consistency of each bead color, no noise, the bead size should be appropriate and the smoothness should be good. Then, lift the necklace to see if it is vertical and if each bead is hung on a line. If the necklace is bent, it means that some beads are biased and the processing technology is rough.
Color: The color of real agate is bright and bright, and the color of fake agate is poor, and the contrast between them is obvious. Natural red agate has distinct colors and obvious stripes. If you look closely, you can see tiny red dots densely arranged on the red belt. The fake agate hookah made of stone mostly has petal-shaped patterns at the bottom, forming a "chrysanthemum bottom"; The dyed blue agate is bright and even, giving people a false feeling.
The most remarkable difference between natural agate and fake agate lies in whether the cross section has concentric layered structure. However, the whole agate is easy to identify, and the finished product after cutting has no obvious neat pattern, which is easy to admit mistakes. But generally speaking, natural agate feels cool, and its surface looks like a layer of wax with waxy luster; Translucent; Hardness is above Mohs level, so it can't be carved with a knife; Because it is a crystal formed in a molten state, it is mostly spherical, such as yuhuashi, which is particularly dense. After polishing, the surface is more delicate, and it can be rubbed on hard miscellaneous boards for more than a dozen times. Generally, real agate is not hot, but wood is hot. Colors are often mixed in a piece of agate, forming beautiful patterns, layering, brocade and other colorful patterns.
