How to identify the authenticity of jadeite? 4 ways to protect yourself from being cheated by unscrupulous merchants

"The jade industry is full of problems" is a well-known fact. Jade has not been popular for long, and consumers lack professional knowledge about it. Some unscrupulous merchants take advantage of consumers' inability to distinguish the authenticity of jade and try to deceive consumers by passing off fake products as real ones and selling inferior products as good ones. Therefore, we have summarized several common knowledge to help everyone correctly distinguish the authenticity of jade!

Listen to the sound

When identifying jadeite, you can first gently tap its surface and listen to the sound it makes. If it is natural jade, we will generally hear a crisp sound when knocking it. This is because the internal structure of natural jade is denser and there are no bubbles. On the contrary, when you tap artificial jade lightly, the sound you hear is not as crisp, but rather dull.

Hardness test

Real natural jade is harder and not easily scratched by a knife. Therefore, when distinguishing the authenticity of jadeite, you can also use a knife to gently scratch the surface of the jade to see if it will leave any marks. Normally, natural jade will not easily leave marks due to its hardness. It is recommended to use caution when using this method!

Look at the structure

You can observe the cleanliness of the inside of the jade. Jade is a naturally formed mineral buried underground. It is inevitable that there are impurities inside. It is also normal to have dirty spots and yellowish-brown oxidation colors. However, the interior of B-grade and C-grade jades is very clean and usually does not have rust. Jade is a gift from nature. It does not have to be perfect, but its imperfection is precisely its uniqueness. If a perfect, emerald green and very clear jade product appears in front of us, and the price is surprisingly cheap, then be careful, it is most likely a fake.

Identification

For jade novices, the simplest, most effective and direct method is to go to the local jade quality inspection center for inspection and take the jade to the inspection center for testing. Normally, the certificate can be issued on the same day, and the fee ranges from 10 to 200 yuan. Formal jade testing institutions are all accredited by national authorities, and the accuracy of their appraisal results is particularly guaranteed. If there is a problem with the authenticity of the jade, the test results can be used as evidence to sue the unscrupulous merchant. The certificate result of natural jadeite is: Jadeite (A grade)!

With the rapid development of science and technology, various counterfeiting techniques have become difficult to guard against. I like jade, but for those who are just starting out, how to buy real jade is really a headache. The above methods need to be combined and carefully examined from all aspects. Do not be too hasty and try to compare prices from three different stores. It would be best if there is someone knowledgeable around you. At the same time, don't be greedy for small profits. Good products are not cheap, and precious jade is usually more expensive.
