Why are jade and glass both so popular? How to distinguish between jadeite and glass?

Nowadays, jadeite and glass can be said to be the two most popular types of jade. They both have clean and transparent materials and crystal clear texture. Since jade and glass look very similar in appearance, many people cannot tell the difference between them.

However, at present, the price of jade is much higher than that of glass, and it is also more precious than glass. Therefore, some people use glass to impersonate jade in order to make huge illegal profits. Therefore, when we come to the jade market to buy jade, it is necessary to understand the characteristics of jadeite and glass, as well as the differences between them.

First, let’s take a look at what colored glaze is. In fact, colored glaze is a kind of man-made crystal. People in ancient times called it five-colored stone. Due to the extremely difficult production technology at that time, colored glaze was very precious at that time. But now, with the development of technology, it is no longer difficult to make colored glaze, and the raw stone for making colored glaze is also easier to find. There are large amounts of colored glaze deposits in Boshan, Shandong. The main component of colored glaze is silicon dioxide. According to different production methods, it can be divided into ancient colored glaze, water colored glaze and Taiwanese colored glaze.

Jadeite is a type of jadeite. It became popular in China later than glass, but now it is known as the king of jade. The reason for this is, of course, that jadeite deposits are extremely scarce. Myanmar is the only place in the world that can produce high-quality jadeite. With hundreds of years of continuous mining, the resources in this only jadeite production area have begun to gradually dry up. It is for this reason that the price of jade has continued to rise over the past few decades. In addition to being used as a decorative work of art, it has also become an investment and collection object for many people.
