History of tree agate:
Tree agate or dendrite agate derives its name from the Greek word meaning tree-like. This type of agate is usually colorless, white, or gray and displays patterns like trees or ferns due to the presence of iron and manganese. Created on the gem in the seasons of spring and autumn, they are also called autumn or spring tree stones.
In ancient times, due to the importance of the properties of the tree agate stone, this stone played an important role in all stages of the life of the ancestors, from trade to agriculture. In ancient Greece, the gem of a tree was a symbol of the bride of the forest and the spirit of the tree, and for this reason, they buried it in their agricultural lands so that their crops would be high and of high quality.
Historically, tree agate was introduced to the world by the handiwork of ancient peoples.
Among the properties of tree agate and other types of agate in general, it was common among the Babylonians as amulets and ornaments for the purpose of healing.
The therapeutic use of the properties of agate continued until the ancient Egyptian and Greek civilizations, and its fame reached Africa, the Middle East, and Russia. Tree gem, as a very suitable gem for cutting and polishing, presented itself and from the 15th century to the end of the 19th century in Germany, it opened its way in the world markets. Even today, buying and selling spring tree agate and other types of these gems are common in Germany.
Methods of identifying the authenticity of tree agate stone:
Today, if you have a little information, you can easily distinguish the original agate stone from a fake one and benefit from the properties of the original tree agate stone. So by spending some time and getting information, avoid buying fake agate gems. According to the properties of tree agate, since these stones have many microscopic pores and cracks, therefore, they are suitable for chemical coloring and due to their seductive roles, they can be used as a tree gem if the customer does not have enough information. original to be sold. With these interpretations, if you intend to buy, you will get information from experts in this field. Below are some methods of identifying the original agate:
1- The first way to identify the original tree agate stone:
Because you know that the hardness of agate (regardless of whether it is a tree or another type) is higher than glass, so agate can draw a line on the glass, otherwise, doubt its agate.
2- The second diagnosis method:
In comparing two agates of the same size, the heavier agate is the original because the original agate has a high density, so it weighs more compared to its similar samples.
3- The third way of diagnosis:
An agate that is smooth and clear like glass may be fake, so the original agate may have stains or dull color. This method is not always true, and there may be smooth and original agates that fetch high prices accordingly. The original agate often has a little chaos and irregularity in transparency, and sometimes you can see irregular lines and clouds inside it, which can be considered as a way to recognize the original tree agate stone.
4- The fourth method:
The fourth way to distinguish the original tree agate stone and agate stone in general is that it is cold in summer and warm weather and gives a warm feeling to your hand in winter, while synthetic agate (tree stone) depends on the ambient temperature. . (Of course, this method is not always the answer)
