The legendary peerless masterpiece! Full green glass jade Guanyin, worth 2 billion?

This is the legendary full green glass jade Guanyin

The editor laughed as soon as he saw it. Did you see the problem?

This is not jade, it’s glass, my friends!

The editor thought that there really was a collector who had collected a peerless masterpiece, but it turns out he was fooled again!

Is there really someone who can't tell the difference between glass and jadeite?

▲Glass

Colored glaze originated in Boshan District, Zibo, Shandong Province, and is also called glaze.

It is made of artificial crystals of various colors (the colors are formed by various rare metals)

Fired at over 1000 degrees

Its colors are as colorful as flowing clouds, and its quality is crystal clear and dazzling.

The earliest materials used to make colored glaze in ancient China

It is obtained from the by-product of bronze casting.

After being refined and processed, it is made into glass

▲Glass

Colored glaze has various colors, and the ancients also called it five-color stone

In ancient times, it was difficult for the people to obtain

Therefore, people at that time regarded colored glaze as even more precious than jade.

In June 2008, the colored glaze firing technique was selected for approval by the State Council

The second batch of national intangible cultural heritage list determined by the Ministry of Culture

At present, the colored glaze on the market is mainly represented by the south (to Taiwan).

Mainly lost wax glass and handmade glass represented by Boshan (Zibo)

▲ Jade

Colored glaze is a man-made glass gemstone with good transparency and bright color.

The ingredients are silicon dioxide and silicates, which are artificially produced

Colored glaze is known as the first of the five famous Chinese artifacts (gold, silver, jade, colored glaze, ceramics, bronze), and one of the seven treasures of Buddhism.

By the Ming Dynasty, it had been basically lost.

However, even the incomplete craftsmanship of the Ming Dynasty is still protected by the grade.

At that time, the colored glaze was already very opaque, so it was called medicinal jade.

Colored glaze is a crystal-like substance made by mixing and firing glass mother and glass stone.

Among them, glass stone is a colored crystal, its main component is silicon.

Liulimu is an ancient formula collected from nature and refined artificially.

▲Glass

Jadeite, also known as jadeite jade, jadeite, and Burmese jade, is a type of jade

The correct definition of jadeite is a fibrous aggregate composed of pyroxene minerals, mainly jadeite minerals.

It is a stone polycrystalline aggregate that reaches jade grade formed under geological action.

Mainly composed of jadeite or jadeite and sodium (sodium chrome pyroxene) and sodium calcium pyroxene (diopside).

May contain amphibole, feldspar, chromite, limonite, etc.

Jade is composed of sodium aluminum silicate, which is produced in nature.

With this said, everyone is clear, right?

▲ Jade

The fact that jade is a non-renewable resource is far superior to glass.

Of course, I am not saying that Liuli is bad, I am just afraid that everyone will be deceived.

If you buy a glass with the price of jadeite, it will be a waste of money.

The colored glaze is also very beautiful, and it is also pleasing to the eye to buy and put at home

Helpless, the editor loves jade so much that he thinks jade is the most beautiful among all the things he sees, haha!

Nowadays, some people buy jadeite because of their lack of knowledge on jadeite identification.

So basically I just listen to other people's introductions.

Or some people do not conduct sufficient appraisal of jadeite due to time constraints.

If you buy jadeite for these reasons, you are very likely to buy fakes

Below, the editor will teach you a few tips on how to quickly identify jadeite.

So that everyone can distinguish the true from the false in the shortest time

Observe the color of jadeite in a bright place

Most natural jadeite has a pure and bright color.

Usually not too much mixed color

Its color is evenly distributed and has strong glossiness

However, artificially processed fake jade does not have this characteristic.

So put the jade in a place with light and observe it.

If the color is pure and bright without any flaws, it can be judged as genuine.

Many people tend to ignore the professional appraisal certificate of jade when buying jade.

However, the identification certificate is an important reference when purchasing.

The certificate usually contains all the information about the jadeite, and you can check the information one by one.

One thing to note is that the tag of the actual object must match the number on the photo.

The above is a simple and quick method for jade identification.

But this is only part of the identification knowledge

We still need to master more professional knowledge in real life

In order to reduce the probability of paying tuition to counterfeit vendors
