On 25 October 2009，Fuxin City in China made several entries into Guinness World Records™, all of which had something to do with agate.
The largest agate was verified at first. With a total weight of 61,090.2 kg(134,680.84 lb), this piece of agate is now named “ King of Agate” by the local people in Fuxin City. The agate was discovered in Fuxin in 2004 and it is now displayed at Jiexin Square in Fuxin City.

The longest abacus measures 13.11 m (43 ft 0.14 in), beating the previous record of 12.24 m.It is 12.2 cm (4.8 in )tall and consists of 570 wooden beams and 3990 agate beads. At the event, ten students from Fuxin demonstrated the skill of calculating with this abacus.

The largest bead mosaic measures 6.72 m² (72.33 ft²) and was achieved by Cao Zhitao(China). It measures 3 m (9 ft 10.11 in)long and 2.24 m (7 ft 4.19 in) wide and contains 30,000 agate beads. The mosaic depicts the Chinese character “jade” in the shape of a dragon, and the characters “Fuxin China, Agate City”. 

The whole event was organized by the Development & Reform Commission of Fuxin Municipal Government. They would like to make their agate enjoy more publicity, as Fuxin is well known for its agate. Guinness World Records™ adjudicator Angela Wu attended the event and presented the certificates to the organizers.
