How is agate formed?

Agate is one of the seven treasures of Buddhism, which has been used as an evil spirit since ancient times, symbolizing friendly love and hope. But many people are not very clear about the formation of agate. The following is the reason why the agate I made for you formed. I hope it works for you.

The formation of agate 1 100 million years ago, due to crustal movement and volcanic eruption, hot basaltic slurry rushed out of the ground quickly when it was cold, forming bubbles of different sizes and shapes. After the volcanic eruption stopped, magma formed rocks and bubbles formed cavities. The volcano erupts again or the silicic acid solution containing silicon dioxide in the volcano climbs up the cracks in the rock under the pressure. With the cooling of magma, agate was formed after years of precipitation and crystallization and comprehensive reflection with minerals such as iron, manganese and cobalt.

Second, due to crustal movement, magma flows upward. How is agate formed? When it rises to a certain height, it will encounter groundwater. When water meets hot rock flow, it will form a gas-liquid mixture, and bubbles will form in the rock flow. These bubbles are different in size, sparsity and shape. As the magma rises again, the bubbles in the rock flow become bigger and swear to roll. When the magma reaches a certain height and no longer flows, bubbles will also be located. At this time, the shape of the bubble will not change. With the cooling of temperature, the outermost layer of silicon dioxide gradually forms a thin agate shell, which is opaque, dense and hard. The shell contains gas, liquid and silica gel. The silica colloid is cooled again to form chalcedony, which is distributed on the inner wall of the shell. At this time, agate with light particles appears black bands, brown bands with manganese oxide and pale white or light gray bands with calcium and magnesium in the gas mixture. These minerals containing pigment ions crystallize in turn according to different temperatures, thus forming textured agates with distinct layers and different colors. There are so many gases and liquids that water can't run out. They are enclosed in cavities in agate and transformed into water bile agate.

The shape of agate is a triangular crystal system. It is often dense and massive, forming various structures, such as breast, grape and tuberculosis. The common structure is concentric circles. Colors vary, depending on the kind and quantity of impurities contained in them. They are usually distributed in strips, concentric rings, clouds or dendrites. White, gray, brown and reddish brown are the most common, and black, blue and other colors are also available. The stripes are white or near white. Waxy luster, translucent to transparent. The fracture is shell-shaped. The Mohs hardness is 7 and the density is 2.6-2.7 grams per cubic centimeter.

Irregular block, nearly oblate, cylindrical (used to process the redundant parts of handicrafts). Red, orange-red to crimson, milky white and grayish white. The stripes are white. Translucent. The surface is smooth and glassy; Some are uneven and waxy. Light, hard and brittle, easily broken, concentric ripples centered on the stress point can be seen on the cross section, like shells. Sharp edges and corners can scratch the glass and leave scratches. Odorless and tasteless. Fast friction is not easy to heat up. Strong quality, red color and transparency are preferred.

The appraisal of agate quality and the evaluation of economic value are mainly divided into 1, and the special grade: beautiful stripes; Pure and bright red, blue, purple and pink; Good transparency, that is, translucent; No cracks, sand cores and impurities; The weight of wood blocks is about 5 kg or more.

2, level 1: beautiful stripes; Pure and bright red, blue, purple and pink; Good transparency, that is, translucent; No cracks, sand cores and impurities; This block weighs about 2-5 kilograms.

Grade 3 and 2: beautiful stripes; Pure and bright red, blue, purple and pink; Good transparency, that is, translucent; No cracks, sand cores and impurities; The weight of the block is about 0.5-2 kg.

4, level 3: beautiful stripes; Pure and bright red, blue, purple and pink; Good transparency, that is, translucent; No cracks, sand cores and impurities; The weight of the block is about 0.5 kg or less.

The famous producing areas of agate are India, Brazil, the United States, Egypt, Australia, Mexico and other countries in the world.
