Look at the degree of moisture: Yanyuan Laimayuannao is located between Meigu and Baoshan, two major producing areas in Nanhong, and the climate is cool and pleasant all year round. Being in such a land of geomantic omen, the quality of colored agate produced will naturally not be bad. The real salt agate feels smooth as a whole, while the fake salt agate feels rough.
Look at the cracks of salt agate: the output of salt agate is limited, the original stone has cracks, and the output is very low, so the real salt agate usually has several cracks, while the fake salt agate can be crack-free in the finished product.
