Due to the scarcity of salt source agate production, the selection standard of carved salt source agate is relatively high, and its grade is usually judged by color, jade quality and carved works. The brighter and richer the color, the purer and more moist the jade, the finer the carving and the higher the collection value. Next, PLSTONE will teach you how to choose carved salt agate, and the collection value will be higher!
Yanyuan agate is produced in Yanyuan County, Sichuan Province, hence the name Yanyuan agate. Yanyuan agate is colorful, and its origin is adjacent to Sichuan Nanhong, so it is called "multicolored Nanhong". Salt source agate has high fineness, high oiliness and high density. It is an agate with high ornamental and collection value. After carving, the collection value of salt source agate will be higher! Judging from the distribution and reserves of Yanyuan agate, Yanyuan agate is only distributed in the southeast of Yanyuan County, the distribution range is much smaller than Nanhong, and the reserves are very small, which also causes the scarcity of high-quality Yanyuan agate in the market.
The color change and transition on salt agate is called warping color, which generally includes pink-purple warping color, pink-green warping color and purple-green warping color. Choosing excellent products in full color is like sweeping sand. We need to observe the color separation characteristics and then apply soil according to the materials. The pure color of Yanyuan agate means that the original stone has only a single color, including purple, green, yellow, red, black, pink and blue. The output of solid color salt agate is less than one tenth of that of distorted color, which has high collection value. Only high-quality salt agate is suitable for carving. The requirements of salt agate for carving are: rich color, excellent jade quality and hard texture; Warp salt agate is a mixed transition color of several colors. After ingenious carving, the style is unique and the value is doubled!
