What is the "glue feeling" that jade merchants say adds a lot of value to jade?

What is glue peeling? Gluing means that at first glance, a piece of jade looks like a piece of glue that has not completely solidified. When you turn it, with the action of surface light, it looks like flowing glue, refracting endless light, giving people a soft visual touch, and it seems very soft.

What kind of jade will become sticky? The emergence of glue and the emergence of luster are both optical phenomena. Gel removal is the optical manifestation of disordered crystal arrangement. When the crystal particles are very small, that is, the species is very old, the crystal arrangement is relatively disordered and gel removal will occur. There are very few finished products that can produce a similar effect. It is only possible when the quality of the jade is ice or above, the quality is very old, and the particles that make up the jade are very fine. Author: dxfc2006.

Therefore, not all natural A-grade jadeite can become sticky. It must meet the above conditions to be possible. If the jade feels sticky, it means it is old, the jade is genuine, and no micro-crystals can be seen.

Remember: "Glue injection and glue removal" are unrelated. Glue injection is a method of jadeite optimization treatment. To put it more seriously, it can be said to be a method of counterfeiting. Glue injection is not uncommon in the jewelry and jade circles, and it is also one of the most commonly used processing techniques for B-grade and C-grade jadeite. Author: dxfc2006.

Jade that has been washed with strong acid has a loose structure, so the cracks will be filled with glue before further processing. With the improvement of craftsmanship, the polished glue-injected jadeite looks not much different from natural A-grade jadeite, which is quite confusing. If you are not sure whether the jade is natural, conducting necessary tests is still the best way.
