How to identify the authenticity of salt source agate

1. Look at the degree of moisture: Yanyuan Agate 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.

2. Look at the cracks in the salt source agate: the output of the salt source agate is limited, the original stone has cracks, and the output is very low, so the real salt source agate generally has several cracks, while the fake salt source agate can be crack-free in the finished product.

Maintenance method:

1. First of all, be careful not to hit hard objects or fall. When not in use, it should be stored in a soft jewelry box. Try to avoid contact with perfume, chemical solution, soap or human sweat to avoid erosion and affect the brilliance of agate.

2. Secondly, we should pay attention to avoid heat sources, such as sunlight and stoves, because agate will expand when heated, and the molecular gap will increase, which will affect the quality of jade. Continued contact with high temperature will also lead to agate bursting.

3, agate usually placed to avoid sunlight, often wiped to keep clean, if possible, occasionally soaked in pure water to replenish water, to maintain humidity agate will be more beautiful.

When not wearing small ornaments, it is best to put them in a dark and humid place, and the storage environment close to the original ecology of agate is the best. In particular, water bile agate has natural water during its formation. If the surrounding environment is very dry now, it will cause the evaporation of natural water, thus losing artistic and economic value.
