  2. Dying Chalcedony, Agate and Onyx

    first involves boiling the stone in a

    strong bicarbonate solution, then soaking the stone in a

    chemical solution.

    Red: iron nitrate solution

    Green: chromic acid or nickel nitrate

    Brown: sugar solution followed by heat.

    Blue: red or yellow prussiate of potassium followed by

    soaking in iron sulphate solution

    Black: sugar solution followed by suphuric acid.
