THE BEAUTY AND IDENTIFICATION OF GREEN AGATE
"A gentle green from the earth, a gemstone that soothes and balances the soul."
What Is Green Agate?
Green Agate is a variety of chalcedony known for its soothing green tones and smooth texture.
Its natural hues range from pale mint to deep forest green, often with delicate banding or translucency.
It’s widely appreciated as a stone of balance, calmness, and emotional healing.
Key Characteristics of Green Agate
- Color:
Its color varies from light green to dark forest tones, sometimes slightly translucent.
- Luster:
Exhibits a glassy or waxy luster with a smooth, polished surface.
- Structure:
Composed of microcrystalline quartz, often showing delicate banding or waves.
- Texture:
Feels silky and warm to the touch, unlike glassy imitations.
“Green Agate brings calmness through color — serenity born from nature itself.”
How to Identify Real Green Agate
- Color Naturalness：
Look for natural gradients.
Real Green Agate has soft, uneven tones. Dyed stones often appear overly vivid or uniform in color.
- Banding and Luster：
Check for subtle banding or inner texture.
Perfectly flat-colored stones without any lines or depth are likely synthetic.
- Touch and Density：
Feel the weight.
Authentic agate feels dense and grounding, while fakes often feel too light.
- UV Light Test：
Under UV light, dyed stones often show faint fluorescence — natural ones usually don’t.
