Distinguish between true and false:
1, temperature:
Real agate is warm in winter and cool in summer, while glass agate changes with temperature. It gets hot when it's hot and cool when it's cold.
2, color:
The color of real agate is bright and bright, and the color of glass agate is poor, and the contrast between them is obvious. For example, natural red imitation agate has distinct colors and obvious stripes. If you look closely, you can see tiny red dots densely arranged on the red belt. Blue agate dyed with glass agate is bright and even, giving people a false feeling.
3. Concentric layered structure:
The most remarkable difference between real agate and glass agate is whether there is a concentric layered structure in the cross section.
4, from the gloss point of view:
Generally speaking, real agate feels cool, and its surface looks like a layer of wax, with a waxy luster; Glass agate has no luster.
Extended data:
First, agate products should be handled with care to avoid collision with hard objects. Although agate is hard, it is easy to break under impact, especially the hollowed-out agate works are also easy to be damaged. Usually, it should be placed and carried securely or stored in a soft box.
Second, agate products should try to avoid oil and dust. If there is dust in daily life, clean it with a soft brush. If there is oil and dirt on the surface, you can scrub it with mild soapy water and then rinse it with clear water.
Third, agate products should be wiped with soft white cloth, because the texture of agate is very fine and easy to scratch. In order to help maintain the original quality, a soft white cloth must be used when wiping.
