Why is the once highly sought after agate stone now worthless?

Agate stone was once very popular, but now the price of agate is very low. Do you want to know the reason? Let’s take a look with the editor!

One of the reasons why agate is not valuable is that the reserves are too large. Everyone knows the principle of "rare things are valuable", and agate resources are very abundant. This makes agate worthless. For example, diamonds and pencils are both made of carbon, but the price of diamonds is measured in carats, which fully illustrates the principle that rare things are more valuable. There are rich diamond deposits in the Congo, so local people mine diamonds and send them to all over the world to make money. If there are rich diamond deposits everywhere in the world, diamonds will naturally not be so sought after by people, and the same is true for agate.

The second reason why agate is not valuable is the emergence of artificial agate. Artificial agate is made of unsaturated polyester resin as adhesive, chromium oxide green, carbon black, etc. as pigments, and glass powder, volcanic ash silica fine powder and crystal stone fine powder as filling materials. As soon as artificial agate came out, it was used to make various handicrafts, making agate full of handicrafts. People can see agate everywhere in the streets and alleys. Therefore, the market competitiveness of agate has increased, and the price has followed the market decline.

The above two points of analysis are all based on the analysis of agate itself. Another point is that the trend of people chasing trends is changing.

For example, people used to pursue gold and silver, but now more and more people think gold and silver are tacky. People's values ??also change the existence value of some things. However, some people don't think so. Even though the world no longer strongly pursues agate, there are still many people who are keen on agate.
