Since ancient times, people from emperors and generals to ordinary people have cherished beautiful jade very much, believing that jade is a combination of yin and yang and has magical effects on human health. So, do you know the difference between jadeite and jade? Many customers often ask: I am here to buy jade, why are you selling jadeite? This made many friends in the jade industry laugh and cry. Today we will talk about the difference between jade and jade. In fact, jade is a general term. Jade can be divided into nephrite and jadeite, and jadeite refers specifically to a type of jadeite. The others are called nephrite, such as: Hetian jade, Dushan jade, Xiuyan jade, Nanyang jade, etc. are all nephrite, and the best nephrite is Xinjiang Hetian mutton-fat jade. The "jade" mentioned in the saying "jade comes from Yunnan" refers specifically to jadeite. That is to say, Yunnan is closest to Myanmar, a jadeite producing country. Therefore, there is a saying that "jade comes from Yunnan". In this way, it is not difficult to understand why you have to go to Xinjiang to buy nephrite and go to Yunnan to buy jadeite. Among the many members of the jade family, the most precious is of course jadeite. It is a natural mineral with extremely high hardness and very small output. Its colors are mainly green and red. Red is called jadeite and green is called emerald, hence the name jadeite. Scarcity makes things valuable. Jade has become the most valuable gem in China for investment due to its low production and rising price year by year. However, as more and more people collect and wear jade, the jade on the market has become mixed, and it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake, making it dizzy. Today, we will simply popularize some knowledge about jadeite. Jade is usually divided into A grade, B grade, C grade and D grade. This is not a distinction between grades of jade, but a distinction between authenticity. Only Grade A jade is authentic and natural. Grade A jade is pure natural jade, which has only been carved and polished without any artificial chemical treatment; grade B jade is jade that has been soaked in strong acid, washed to remove impurities, and then filled with glue, so grade B jade can be used as a general decoration, but has no collection value; grade C jade is made by injecting color into grade B jade and is artificially dyed. Many of the fakes sold on the street stalls are this type of jade. Jade has health-care functions. As the saying goes, "People nourish jade, and jade nourishes people", this means that good jade can be of great benefit to human health. Therefore, when buying jade, we must buy and wear grade A jade. Grade B and grade C jade are very harmful to the body and should never be worn. Nowadays, the means of jade counterfeiting are becoming more and more sophisticated, and sometimes it is difficult to tell whether jade is real or fake with the naked eye. Therefore, when purchasing jadeite, you must go to a professional and regular physical store to buy it. Don't be tempted to buy it at tourist attractions or street stalls, as it is easy to buy B or C goods. Please remember when buying jadeite, don't be greedy for cheapness. Good jadeite is never cheap. You get what you pay for. The same is true for jadeite. Those that are both good-looking and cheap cannot be A-grade jadeite.
