How to identify ice jadeite? Five methods to identify ice jadeite

In traditional Chinese medicine, the key points are: look, smell, ask and feel. In the jade industry, "look" is especially important. So, when distinguishing true and false ice jadeite, we need to focus on the following points of "looking" at the ice jadeite:

1. Color: Under normal circumstances, the color of pure natural ice jade is natural, generous and pure, especially the green color does not contain any impurities. If you find that the color of ice jade is too exaggerated and unnatural when purchasing it, then you should be cautious.

2. Impurities: Jade is a natural product, so it is inevitable that it will contain some impurities. Therefore, when choosing ice jade jewelry, if you observe that the inside of the jewelry is flawless, especially if the price is not expensive, then you should think twice before purchasing it. After all, flawless jade is rare to come by, and even more impossible to find at a low price. Usually, most of these flawless ice jades are treated with artificial acid washing before circulating on the market. Generally, after being washed with strong chemical acid, these ice jades will give people a clean and flawless feeling.

3. Luster: Natural ice jade has high transparency and good water head. It feels good to the touch and gives people a cool and smooth feeling. It appears more transparent under the sunlight, and the internal patterns or crystal particles are more evenly distributed. On the contrary, fake ice jade has many impurities inside, some even have bubbles, and the gloss is very low.

4. Fluorescence: Generally, pure natural ice jade will not show fluorescence effect under ultraviolet light. On the market, some processed B-grade ice jadeite can be seen fluorescent under ultraviolet light, and even some A-grade jadeite that has been washed with fluorescent powder can have fluorescence. Therefore, whether or not fluorescent reaction occurs when irradiating ice jade with ultraviolet light cannot be used as the only criterion for identifying its authenticity. After all, the identification results of this identification method may not be accurate.

5. Certificate: In fact, when purchasing ice jadeite, you can identify its authenticity to a certain extent by checking its appraisal certificate. Generally, regular jewelry stores will have detailed information about the jewelry and photos of the pure natural ice jadeite attached. If the stamp is just around the photo, the authenticity of the certificate can be increased a bit. The actual object, certificate information and photo must also be consistent, otherwise, it is very likely to be a fake.

To be honest, if you rely solely on your naked eyes and experience to identify ice jadeite, there will always be negligence, but scientific identification instruments and real data will not lie. Therefore, if you are unsure, it is better to send your favorite ice jade jewelry to an authoritative appraisal center for testing.
