Agate is a relatively common colored gemstone, which can be made into various kinds of jewelry such as rings and pendants. It has been very popular since ancient times, especially in China. It is widely used from emperors to folk.
There is a Chinese saying: “Thousands of agates and ten thousand kinds of jade”. It shows that there are many varieties of agate. The main varieties of agate are as follows:
(1) Onyx: There are particularly fine stripes. The most precious among them is called “Red Onyx”, and is listed as the “Birthstone of August” because of its rarity. .
(2) With agate: agate with a band structure, with different varieties such as single color or multicolor.
(3) Moss agate: due to the infiltration of chlorite or manganese oxide (black) along the cracks, dendritic or mossy plant-like patterns appear.
(4) Fire agate: Agate containing iron oxide plate-like mineral crystals in the strip layer, which can sparkle with fiery red luster.
In addition, the red agate produced in Japan is called “East Red Agate”; some of the agate crafts with no pattern are mostly products carved from chalcedony or imitation agate.
In addition to these conventional agates, there is a more unique type of agate is water gall agate. What is “water gall agate”?
Naturally produced agate is called “water gall agate” if it is hollow and has water. It is better to be bold and watery (according to the number of water gall, it can be divided into “one gall”, “double gall” and “multiple gall”) ; The better its transparency, the better. Crack-free and flawless water bile agate is a good material for jade carving.
Water gall is the most precious part of agate. When processing water gall agate carvings, attention should be paid to the location and angle of the material, and the water leg should be exposed as much as possible to make it easy for people to observe, and never grind the water gall broken.
