How to Identify the Authenticity of Water - filled Agate

Water - filled agate is particularly rare and precious among agate products. Therefore, when jade carving craftsmen select agate stones, they first need to determine whether there is a "water - filled bladder" in them. When it is determined to be water - filled agate, they also need to judge its position and size, and then cut it with a cutting machine. The cutting work needs to be just right: if the cutting surface is too far from the water - filled bladder, the water - filled bladder cannot be seen and it cannot be sold at a good price; if the cutting surface is too close to the water - filled bladder, it is easy to cut the water - filled bladder open. The agate with a broken "bladder" loses its carving value and all previous efforts are wasted. It is extremely difficult to judge just right, neither too close nor too far, so that the water - filled bladder can be seen and is placed in a relatively central position!

1. Judge whether there is a water - filled bladder by hearing. Place the agate raw material in both hands, hold it firmly, and then shake it left and right. Bring your ear close and listen carefully to see if there is the sound of water sloshing in the raw material. If the cavity is large and there is more water, it will make a gurgling sound; if the cavity is small and there is less water, the sound of shaking will be small or silent. If the bladder is too small or the water is too full, no sound can be heard.

2. Judge whether there is a water - filled bladder by hand feeling. Due to the movement of the water - filled bladder, the water liquid will rush towards the cavity wall in the cavity. Thus, this sense of movement will be transmitted to the hand, so it can also be used to judge whether there is a water - filled bladder. Weighing the weight by hand can also help judge whether there is a water - filled bladder. For water - filled agate, the larger the water - filled bladder and the more water it contains, the better, and the higher the transparency, the better.

3. Judge whether there is a water - filled bladder by light irradiation. Peel the raw material and put it into water to make the surface completely wet. After taking it out, use a spotlight or a strong flashlight to irradiate the raw material against the light (that is, irradiate the back), and then carefully observe from the front. If there is water, there will be a relatively obvious shaking boundary between the water in the lower part of the cavity and the space in the upper part. That is, while shaking, observe. If the water - filled bladder is large, the bladder is thin, and the transparency of the raw material is high, the movement of water in the cavity can be seen.
