Garnets are generally very transparent, while agate has a gelatinous texture. The hardness of garnet is larger than that of agate, and it has a feeling of pressing hands on the hand. If you look at the real thing of both, you know that they are not one thing. 2, dyed chalcedony posing as red garnet Chalcedony is a variant of cryptocrystalline quartz with a waxy texture, no strip-like structure, and uniform color. The garnet's luster is mostly glass luster, and the high refractive index can reach the yttrium gloss. The hardness of garnet is larger than that of chalcedony, and there are poly-shaped lines on the crystal surface. 3, amethyst posing as purple teeth Amethyst is crystal, purple tooth is garnet.
