Their main components are silicon dioxide (SiO2), but because of the different crystal forms, those with obvious crystalline appearance are called crystals, and those with unclear crystalline appearance are called chalcedony (agate is a member of the chalcedony, especially those with layered or irregular linear arrangement patterns in the chalcedony). In crystals, due to the different composition of trace ions inside, crystals of different colors will be formed, such as amethyst, citrine, pink quartz (rose quartz), smoky quartz, smoky quartz, and black quartz. If the crystal is wrapped with obvious associated minerals, it will form people's favorite crystals such as: green phantom, titanium crystal, three-wheel backbone crystal (super seven crystal), strawberry crystal, rabbit hair crystal, titanium crystal, hair crystal... etc. Among them, the southern red agate was called "red jade" in ancient times. It has a festive and beautiful red color and a shiny and glossy appearance. Common southern red agates include orange-red, bright red, pink-orange, etc. The southern red agate currently on the market is mostly produced in Liangshan, Sichuan. < Gemstone Basics 2> Hetian Jade Since ancient times, the jade produced in the Khotan area has been famous for its excellent quality. But in fact, the current definition of Hetian jade is that any aggregate composed mainly of the mineral tremolite can be called Hetian jade. Therefore, Hetian jade is also produced in Qinghai, China, Russia, South Korea, Canada and other places. On the contrary, the local mineral deposits in Hotan have been almost exhausted due to mining over the generations. Compared to jadeite (also known as hard jade), which is mainly composed of magnesium aluminum silicate and has a relatively rigid luster, the beauty of Hetian jade (also known as soft jade) lies in its softness and delicacy, and its unique oily luster fully presents a warm and restrained feeling. Therefore, China's jade-loving culture, which has lasted for nearly eight thousand years since ancient times, refers to Hetian jade. The five virtues of a gentleman symbolized by jade as described by the ancients also refer to Hetian jade. This can be seen from the fact that the jade seals of emperors of all dynasties were mostly carved with high-quality Hetian jade, which shows the importance Hetian jade has received since ancient times. In recent years, many imperial seals of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty have been sold at sky-high prices in international auctions. These seals were carved from large pieces of Hetian jade that are nearly flawless. Those who are interested can search for pictures online. When choosing Hetian jade, warmth and smoothness are its important characteristics. Therefore, pay attention to its soft, uniform, delicate and dense feeling, and whether it has a warm luster.
