When it comes to jade and agate, everyone seems to be able to distinguish, but to make a specific difference, many of my friends really can't tell, today's editors are different from you.
Conceptual difference
To say that the concept of jade is actually quite extensive, all the beautiful and carved rocks are jade, like jade, nephrite (Hetian jade), jade jade, Dushan jade, and even agate, all belong to the category of jade.
However, if people talk about the general concept and market situation, the jade we usually refer to jade and nephrite. This is the usual definition of jade.
So what about agate? Agate is a kind of chalcedony mineral, the main component is silica, the color is different, often used as a plaything or ornamental.
Specific distinction
Conceptually indistinguishable, so we are now making some specific distinctions.
Gloss: Agate is a glass luster. The jadeite is also glassy, ​​but it is obviously brighter and has a rigidity.
This is nephrite, it is translucent, and the gloss is a grease-like feeling. In addition, a unique feature of agate is its concentric pattern.
This pattern can not only distinguish jade, but also distinguish the same chalcedony as agate.
What kind of jade and agate are good?
Which is better? Which is expensive? Many friends like to ask this question. However, this problem is really unsolvable for jade and agate. This is mainly due to the difference between the two types of the two categories, especially the jade, which has one or two hundred categories and one or two million categories. Therefore, if you have to compare, you can only analyze it.
