Water grass agate legend
According to legend, in the spring of the thirty-fourth year of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, Baozhuyingzi of Fuxin Mongolian Autonomous County had a young woman named Yumei, beautiful, kind, intelligent and hardworking. After she married her husband Tian Long, the couple loved each other and had deep feelings. Unexpectedly, the stubborn and stubborn dragon mother saw that she was not pleasing to the eye, and she was so picky, and forced Tian Long to take her off. Tian Long was forced by his mother's life, but he had no choice but to persuade Yumei to temporarily avoid her family and try to pick her up later. When they broke up, the two men vowed that they would never be the same. Tian Long vowed to pick him up again in the future.
Who knows that after Yumei returned to her family, her brother, who was inflamed, forced her to remarriage the son of the county magistrate and hold a wedding today. Tian Long heard the news and wanted to take Yumei away. However, when he arrived at the Yumei home, Yumei had already jumped into the wide river before the sedan. Tian Long was extremely sad and jumped. Both men died in sensation and their bodies sank into the depths of the river. The water plants in the river are surrounded by their bodies, and they are touched by their love of death. The group wraps their bodies and gathers the essence of the heavens and the earth. After thousands of years, their bodies and water plants merge into one. The hard watery agate stone is sparkling, the water is intertwined with jade, and the landscape is chic. It is like a natural green ribbon, like a dream. Later, the river dried up. After the jade was discovered, in order to commemorate their firm love, it was named the water grass agate, meaning that it would be like a ribbon in the sky, and it will never leave.
Water grass agate feels cool
The real water grass agate feels cool, the surface is coated with a layer of wax, and has a waxy luster, translucent, hardness of 7 in Mohs, with a small knife, because it is a crystal formed in a molten state, mostly Spherical, so it is particularly dense; the surface is more delicate after grinding. On the hard board, it rubs a dozen times. The water agate is not hot, but the board is hot. The colors are often mixed together to form a beautiful pattern. Layered, brocade and other colorful patterns.
In addition to synthetic synthesis, the fake water agate is made of high quality stone. The basic characteristics are: the hand feels cool, but there is no waxy feeling and luster, some hardness is low, and the mark can be carved with a knife; the cross section is observed, except that there is no layer of water agate, the grain is thicker, even There are cracks; opaque, the boundaries between the colors are clear. Some unscrupulous traders have a thin layer of organic matter on the surface of the fake water grass agate, giving people the illusion of waxy luster and feel. This is especially important.
Water agate identification
Despite the development of modern science and technology, there are many kinds of jade identification instruments. People's judgment on the quality and economic value of agate is generally based on the naked eye recognition. It is very inconvenient to use these instruments in the transaction process. Second, it cannot be solved. The reason, the reason is very simple, will be limited by the environment, if you judge the advantages and disadvantages of agate and economic value, then the instrument is useless. It is impossible to perform complex instrumentation at the trading site, so visual identification is always an extremely important method. Aquatic agate is usually graded with stripes, color, transparency, cracks, impurities, sand core and weight. It is generally best to match the harmonious raw materials. The method of authenticity selection is as follows:
(1) Color: True water grass agate has bright and bright color, and the color and light of fake agate are both poor. The contrast between the two is more obvious.
(2) Texture: The fake water grass agate is mostly imitation of stone, but the water grass is really a soft texture, jade can be traced on the fake agate, but the real thing can not be drawn.
(3) Process quality: The production process of high-quality water grass agate is strict and advanced, so the surface brightness is good, the setting is firm, the circumference is positive, and there are no scratches or cracks.
(4) Transparency: True water grass agate transparency is not as good as synthetic, slightly chaotic, and some can see natural water lines or "clouds", while synthetic agate has good transparency and is as transparent as glass balls.
(5) Weight: True water grass agate jewelry is heavier than synthetic agate jewelry.
(6) Temperature: True agate is warm in winter and cool in summer, while synthetic agate changes with the outside temperature. It also heats up in the hot weather, and it cools in the cold.
(7) The similarities and differences between crystal and agate: The chemical composition of crystal and agate is silica, but there are some differences between the two. Crystal is a single crystal, a crystal is usually a crystal, and agate is a polycrystalline aggregate. Under the electron microscope, the water grass agate is composed of crystals of numerous tiny silicas, so usually the water grass agate is translucent and the crystal is transparent.
