The last group, especially the interlaced colors like colorful jade, many people in Taiwan mistakenly refer to it as "Yanyuan agate". In fact, it is Alxa and not Yanyuan agate, and many people do not know it. Why can Alxa make "pure color" and "milk color"?

If you look at the Alxa raw ore and think about everything, you can see for yourself. The diversity of the colors of Alxa beaded beads comes from the diversity of the gradient of the original stone itself. No wonder people used to say "thousands of agates and ten thousand kinds of jade". It is difficult to find two ores of natural materials that are exactly the same.
