The difference between agate and jade can be understood in essence. Agate is a kind of chalcedony, which can be understood as a crystalline mineral that is not jade. It has a jade texture, but it is not strong. The agate texture is smooth, while the jade surface is somewhat matte and some are smooth. Then you can see the color, agate is a crystal, and the light transmittance is better than that of jade, so the agate has a sparkling light and has various colors. Jade has few colors, purple jade and green jade, and other colors are rare. After making crafts, the difference between agate and jade is easier to see. Agate is not easy to sculpt because it is a crystal. Jade can be carefully crafted, and the so-called "Jade is not awkward, not a device"! In addition, jade surface has a variety of lines, there are dragons, there are water lines, agate does not have these lines. These methods can easily distinguish between agate and jade. Classification of jade : Jade can be divided into nephrite and jadeite, which are two different minerals. The color of nephrite is translucent white, yellow, green and black, and the color distribution is even. As for jadeite, there are mainly white, purple, yellow and green, and the uniformity of color distribution will be different in different germplasm. The vast majority of the products produced in China are nephrite, while the "shallow white jade" is a treasure in nephrite. The texture is fine and the color is white. Many exquisite jade works are made of nephrite. The main producing area of ​​jadeite is Myanmar, which is rarer than soft jade. Since jadeite is superior to jade in terms of jade quality, color and price, the jade jewelry on the market is mainly made of jadeite, and the demand of consumers is also very large. The difference between jade and jade Jade is a general term, a large class, and jade is just one of them. The so-called "the beauty of the stone is jade", jade - is a beautiful stone! Jade is also known as Burmese jade (that is, jade from Myanmar). Its internal chemical composition, density, hardness, and refractive index are different from agate, jade, Dushan jade, Qingtian jade, chicken blood jade, Shoushan jade, and tribute. Jade, Qinghai Cui, turquoise and other jade species. Jadeite is a kind of jadeite, which is distinguished from its hardness, and is different from agate and jade jade. Jadeite must be jade, but jade is not necessarily jade! The main component of jade Emerald is a rock that is a collection of minerals. Its main mineral composition is sodium chromite, which also contains a small amount of tremolite, chromite and the like. The difference in various ion contents causes the jadeite to have different colors: chromium ions cause green, iron ions cause red (tank), manganese ions cause violet, and then a small amount of cobalt ions, strontium ions, magnesium ions, etc. participate in coloration. , so that the jade becomes colorful. The surface of the jadeite is carefully polished to give a glassy luster to a lustrous luster. Emerald: Hardness: 6.5-7 (diamond 10) Relative density: 3.3-3.4 Refractive index: 1.66 or so. Agate Agate, like nephrite, is also a traditional jade in China. Agate is one of the jade stones in the natural world with a wide distribution, tough texture, bright color and beautiful decoration. The English name of the agate is Agate, a Latin word from Greek. Agate is a variant of quartz, a type of cryptocrystalline quartz deposited from silicon dioxide. From the cut section, concentric, corrugated, layered or parallel strips of various colors such as ash, white, red, green, light brown, and light blue can be seen. There is a saying that "a thousand kinds of agates are all kinds of jade". In the gem world, the cryptocrystalline block quartz with concentric layered and irregular strips and entangled structure is called agate. The chemical composition of agate is SiO2; it can contain elements such as FeAlTiMnV, and it has various colors, which are concentric and regular strips. It can be divided into silk agate, striped agate, moss agate, fire agate, onyx and so on. Among them, red agate is the top grade of various agates. Therefore, in the "Ge Gu Essentials", there is a saying that "agate is not red." The colloidal solution of agate silicate is precipitated in a layer of volcanic rock fissures or voids. Because each layer contains different trace elements, it presents different colors. "Thousand kinds of agate, 10,000 species "Jade" said that its pattern shape is very different, a wide variety, beautiful and colorful, overflowing color stream, hardness of 7 degrees Mohs, comparable to jade hardness. In ancient times, agate was a rare thing of high value, and people used "pearl agate" to represent treasures. Nowadays, due to the discovery of a lot of raw materials and the improvement of the level of honing, agate jewelry is very common, but it is still a high-grade jade.
