01 The luster of jade Jade usually has a glassy luster, with bright and sharp luster, concentrated reflection points, and no divergent light. Moreover, jade with glass luster is highly transparent, especially glass-type jade, which is deeply loved by people for its transparent texture. In the market, the luster of B and C jadeite is not as good as that of A grade, and a clue can be seen by comparing them. 02 Hardness of Jade Jade has a relatively high hardness and very good toughness. Using it to scratch glass will leave marks on the surface of the glass without damaging itself. Therefore, we can test the hardness of jade. If it is artificially treated jade, its hardness will inevitably decrease and will not be as high as that of natural jade. 03 The Jadeite Nature The green nature of jadeite is like fly wings, which is one of the important bases for identifying jadeite. Fly wings are the small shiny surfaces on the surface of jadeite when illuminated by light. They are like wing-shaped flashes, which are a unique characteristic of jadeite. There are also certain tricks when observing "fly wings". You should focus on the reflective surface of the jade and try to avoid the better polished parts. The processed jade has no fly wings at all. 04 White cotton of jade The white cotton in jade refers to the transparent or translucent white substance with irregular shapes inside the jade, which can also be called impurities. Its existence affects the quality and texture of jade, but it is also one of the bases for identifying jade. Because only natural jade has white cotton, artificially processed ones do not. 05 Jadeite color roots To identify the color root of jadeite is to check the authenticity of the green color of jadeite. On the entire piece of jade, you can see a point or a trace of dark green, and then the dark green gradually becomes lighter, forming a color transition, which is called the color root. If it is natural jade, its color roots are visible and unevenly distributed; if it is processed, the color roots float on the surface and there is no natural feel.
