Speaking of jade and agate, everyone seems to be able to distinguish, but to say specifically what is the difference, many friends really can not tell, Xiaobian of China Jewelry Merchants Network to introduce what is the difference between jade and agate?
First, the 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.
Second, the specific distinction
Conceptually indistinguishable, so we are now making some specific distinctions.
Gloss: Agate is a glass luster, as shown below.
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. The chalcedony in the picture below has no concentric pattern.
3. Which is better for jade and agate?
Agate and jade jewelry are popular accessories on the market today. Jade is known as the king of jade, which shows that people love the jade, and the agate's gloss hardness is equal to that of jade, so it is also liked. However, agate and jade are not the same kind after all.
In terms of quality, jadeite is a jadeite and the king of jade. Jadeite is a collection of minerals, glass luster, complex composition, and a variegated interwoven structure. Emerald is rich in color, green is more common, followed by yellow, cyan, purple and so on. Only Burmese has jade in the world. Agate is a kind of chalcedony mineral. It belongs to medium and low grade jade raw materials. The texture is generally good. The mineral crystal particles are very fine, the particle size is uniform, and the color distribution is very uniform. The jade texture is good and bad. The jade is like glass, ice and jade, fine particles and good texture. Poor quality jade, such as bean jade, coarse crystal grains, rough structure is not dense. Therefore, for different types of jade, it is not absolutely good to say that agate is good or jade, because other kinds of jadeite are better than agate in quality and poorer than onyx.
In terms of price, agate is rich in reserves in the world, so there are many agate ornaments on the market. The price of agate is not very high. An agate bracelet is generally available for hundreds or even tens of dollars, but there are Some agate varieties are also expensive, such as some good quality black agate, the price is not low, such as Cartier is often used in high quality black agate for inlay. In general, jade is higher than agate, but the quality of jade is different, and its price is different. For example, high-quality jade, such as glass jade bracelet, can cost millions, but poor quality beans. A variety of jade pendants can be bought for a few hundred yuan, even dozens of yuan can be bought.
