These identification methods popular among the people are actually very harmful to jadeite!

As the saying goes, gold has a price, but jade is priceless. Jade is indeed a good thing. my country has had a strong jade culture since ancient times. To this day, people's love for jade has only increased.

However, due to the value of jade, many people will ask about the identification methods of jade when buying jade, and then conduct experiments at home...

Wait a minute! Let us take stock of which identification methods are unscientific!

Scratching glass with jade

Jade has a very high hardness, between 6.5 and 7. Some people believe that anything that can scratch glass is natural jade. This sounds reasonable, but in fact it has many flaws.

First of all, there are many things that can scratch glass. Even if we pick up a piece of stone and scratch it on the glass, it will leave marks. This method cannot prove whether the jade is natural.

Secondly, jade itself is a very precious item. Using it to scratch glass will inevitably damage the jade. Therefore, there is really no need to implement this identification method.

Listen for knocking sounds

It is said that if you tie jade with a thin thread or rope and hang it up, then tap it gently, if it makes a crisp sound, it is natural jade, while if it makes a dull sound, it may be a fake.

For this method, experienced experts may be able to make a preliminary judgment on the authenticity of the jade by the sound of knocking, but for most people, this is extremely difficult to distinguish.

Moreover, the knocking sound of jade is different because the flaws, impurities, or water quality inside the jade will also affect the knocking sound of jade.

Cook with boiling water

There is also a saying that if you put jade in water and boil it for a few minutes, if the water changes color, it means it is dyed jade. If floating objects appear on the water surface, it is glue-injected jade.

This has no scientific basis at all. Not to mention the damage it will cause to the jade itself, even with the current counterfeiting technology, such a simple and crude method cannot distinguish between real and fake jade, so it's better to save yourself the worry.

Burn with fire

Wrap your hair around jade and burn it with fire. If the hair does not break, it is real jade. If the hair breaks immediately, it is fake jade. This identification method seems to be widely circulated. Unfortunately, it is also unreliable.

No matter whether the jade is real or fake, the hair wrapped around it will be easily burned off by fire, and real jade cannot protect the hair. If the hair breaks slowly, it may be related to the tightness of the wrapping, or it may be related to the humidity of the hair, but it definitely has nothing to do with the authenticity of the jade.

The most important thing is that this method will burn the jade. In less than a second, black burn marks will appear on the jade, and this damage is irreversible.

Therefore, the most effective way is to buy from a regular merchant with a good reputation and ask the merchant to issue relevant certificates. Or send it to an authoritative organization for appraisal to better protect your own rights and interests.
