First, judging from the texture, the Mohs hardness of real agate is above 7. The intuitive method is to scrape with jade, leaving no trace. If there are traces, it is fake agate.

Second, from the perspective of transparency, the transparency of real agate is not particularly good. It tastes a little messy, but it's not transparent enough. At first glance, it won't be so bright, but there will be some natural waterlines or dots inside. Imitation agate is generally transparent and uniform. Like glass, agate that is too transparent is fake.

Third, in terms of weight, like many jewels, real agate is slightly heavier than fake agate, and the handle is difficult to grasp, so it cannot be judged by this.

Fourth, from the temperature point of view, natural agate does not change with the external temperature, which is warm in winter and cool in summer, just like air conditioning. Artificial agate will change with the change of external temperature, that is, it will get cold in winter and hot in summer. In addition to synthetic agate, some are made of high-quality stones. These imitation agates feel cold. At this point, we will further identify it through the following details.

5. In terms of color, the biggest color characteristics of natural agate are waxy texture and waxy luster. Imitation agate has no such feeling. However, some merchants have coated agate with a thin layer of organic matter to make it look like wax. Therefore, when buying, use your nails several times.

Sixth, from the perspective of technology, this last point is actually found in many jewelry. It's really good natural agate, and the workmanship is not bad. The inlaid agate will be inlaid firmly, the surface will be polished smoothly, and there will generally be no cracks.
