There is no need to say much about the popularity of jade in China, everyone understands it, but it is precisely because of jade's high popularity that fake jade is prevalent in the market. Therefore, how to identify the authenticity of jade is knowledge that friends need to master. So in today's article, let's talk about how to identify the authenticity of jade.

How to identify the authenticity of jadeite? First of all, we should understand what are the common methods of counterfeiting jade in the market? After all, the methods of counterfeiting are different, and the methods of identifying the authenticity will also be different. There are three common ways of counterfeiting jade on the market: bleached and filled jade, commonly known as "B" goods, dyed jade, commonly known as "C" goods, and glue-filled and dyed jade, commonly known as "B+C" goods.

First of all, today we will take a look at how to identify the authenticity of B-grade jadeite. B-grade jadeite is made by using strong acid to "wash" away the impurities or other minerals on the surface of some jadeite with mottled colors on the surface. After acid washing, some pits will be left on the surface of the jadeite. At this time, a layer of gum is needed to cover the pits. There is a big difference between such B-grade jadeite and natural jadeite.

First of all, in terms of gloss, B-grade jade is filled with gum, so the gloss will be weakened, showing a waxy gloss and resin gloss, while natural jade shows a glass gloss. Secondly, there will be a big difference in color. The color of jade after acid washing has no sense of layering, and the base is white, which looks very unnatural, while the color of natural jade has a color root, is not whitish, and the color is very natural. Finally, there are also differences in surface features between B-grade jadeite and natural jadeite. The surface of B-grade jadeite is prone to "spider-web-like" cracks, and it does not have the jadeite characteristics of natural jadeite.
