1.Ingredients: The main component of jadeite and jade is silicate, while the main component of agate is silica.

2.Appearance: The color of jadeite is mainly green, white and purple, with strong luster, hard and brittle texture; The color of jade is mainly white, green, yellow, cyan, etc., with soft luster and delicate and warm texture; Agate is dominated by red, yellow, blue, green, etc., with a soft and diverse luster, a hard texture but a unique texture and pattern.

3.Luster: The luster of jadeite is the strongest, the luster of jade is soft, and the luster of agate is relatively weak.

4.Hardness: The hardness of both jadeite and jade is higher than that of agate, with jadeite having the highest hardness, followed by jade, while agate has a relatively low hardness.

5.Value: Generally speaking, jadeite has the highest **, followed by jade, and finally agate. This is because the production of jadeite is relatively low, and high-quality jadeite is even rarer. Whereas, the yield of jade and agate is relatively high, so the ** is relatively low.

Overall, these three gemstones have their own characteristics and can be chosen according to one's preferences and needs when choosing.
