Description of the stone
Since a stone is born under the influence of volcanic activity, which occurs each time under different unique conditions, the weight of a stone even of the same size varies. The gem has not only a bright, beautiful color, but also high hardness.
Yellow agate is mined on almost all continents. On the territory of the Russian Federation, the central regions of its production are the Urals and Transbaikalia. Other leading countries in the extraction of this stone include:
- Argentina;
- Mexico;
- Uruguay;
- Germany.
Since the gem is popular and is often used in making amulets, fakes are often found on the market. To avoid buying them, you should do a simple test: squeeze the stone in your hand for a minute. A real mineral will practically not change its temperature due to its density and hardness, and will remain cool to the touch. A plastic or glass fake will take the temperature of the human body. It takes a long time to heat real agate.
One of the advantages of agate that makes it popular in the jewelry and stone goods market is its relatively low cost.
It is believed that the best frame for it will be copper, while noble metals will steal its healing energy. Jewelry with yellow agate inclusions will become a bright, unusual accessory that can be combined with summer and winter wardrobe items.
The mineral is used to create decorative mosaics. Most often, craftsmen use for this only a part of the stone that does not have grayish stripes, but is painted in a uniform color. Agates with a minimal number of stripes are especially highly valued due to their rarity. It is due to the clustered structure of this variety of chalcedony.
HOW TO CARE FOR YELLOW AGATE
- To store the gem, it is better to use a case with soft upholstery.
- The decoration “does not like” sunlight, dust and moisture, so it must be removed during cleaning.
- The amulet is sensitive to the effects of chemicals and sudden temperature changes.
- Once a month, yellow agate must be washed with a weak soap solution, which is washed off with running water, and wiped with a soft cloth.
