Real black agate???
I bought a black agate bracelet from a shop and i would like to know how to determine whether it is a genuine black agate? The one i bought is black color stone with white stripes (some with white/black spot). I found that the stipes were not only on the surface of the stone but 'inside' the drilled hole, which means if i cut the stone along the stipes, i will see white surface on the cutting edge if you know what i mean. Does this indicate genuine black agate? Please help.
Thanks!
Agate can be dyed by letting solutions of pigments permeate the interstices between the proto-crystallites - I have two blue-dyed quadrants of an agate on my bookshelf which probably owe their color to cobalt solution. I have no idea what mix of pigments would be needed for dying agate black.
Dark grey agate is quite common, with bands of lighter grey or even white, and occasionally rust colored bands. My blue agate still has those lighter bands, with the white ones pretty much unaffected by the dye.
