黑條紋瑪瑙

• chalcedony (kal-SED-uh-nee) is microcrystalline or cryptocrystalline quartz; hexagonal (trigonal) crystal system; chemical composition SiO2
• semitransparent to opaque 
• natural material, whether banded agate with dyed treatment

Identification

• Optic Character: AGG
• Refractive Index: 1.535-1.539; 1.53 or 1.54 spot reading
• Birefringence: usually not detectable, but may show .004
• Pleochroism: none 
• Ultraviolet Fluorescence: generally inert (LW and SW); some may fluoresce a yellowish green (LW and SW)
• Absorption Spectra: dyed green – vague lines around 645 and 670 nm
• Specific Gravity: 2.60 (+.10,-.05)
• Polish Luster: greasy to vitreous
• Fracture: conchoidal; sometimes granular
• Luster: dull to waxy
• Cleavage: none
• Identifying Characteristics: dyed green and dyed blue appear red or pinkish through Chelsea filter
• Crystal Habit: aggregate, often in botryoidal forms
• Hardness: 6 ½  to 7
• Toughness: good

Enhancements

• Method: dyeing 

Effect: chalcedony is dyed to practically all colors for various uses; the bands in agate and Onyx accept dye differently so that a green dye, for example, may impart color to some layers and leave others white.
Prevalence: common
Detection: appearance (color often looks unnatural), spectrum, Chelsea filter reaction, SG (dyed green often lower (2.60 or less) than chrysoprase)
Stability: generally stable
Special Care Instructions: none
