How to identify the quality of jadeite by experienced drivers

Jade is a type of jade. Because of its fine and moist luster, smooth and delicate surface, and bright color, it has been regarded as a treasure since ancient times. Nowadays, many people like to wear jade jewelry, but there are real and fake jade in the market. You need to be careful when purchasing. The following editor will introduce to you a simple method to identify real and fake jade.

1. Identify by weight

Since the density of jade itself is relatively large, we can hold jade in our hands and move it up and down a few times. We can feel a heavy downward pressure. If we feel this, it may be real jade.

When you hold fake jade in your hand, it will feel light and airy, without any downward pressure. This is a good identification method for medium-sized jadeite.

2. Identify by hardness

The hardness of real jade is very high. We can use sharp nails, knives or other hard iron objects to scratch or scrape the surface of jade. If it is real jade, the surface of jade will feel smooth and will not leave any scratches.

If fake jade is scratched by a hard object, its surface will be scratched, leaving obvious scratches on the surface.

3. Identify by tapping

We can tie the jade with a rope, then pick up the rope with our hands to hang the jade in the air, and then gently knock on the jade with a hardwood stick. If it is a genuine jade, the sound it makes after knocking will be very crisp.

If it is fake jade, the sound it makes when knocked will be dull.

4. Identify by color and gloss

The surface of real jade is very smooth when you touch it, and it appears very shiny in the sun. The internal patterns are also very delicate and it feels cool.

Fake jade will feel rough to the touch, the surface is not very smooth, the color appears dull, and there may be bubbles inside.
