The easiest way to identify B-grade jadeite is here. Take a look before buying.

Anyone who has bought jade or knows a little about jade knows this. Jade can be divided into A-grade and B-grade jade. If it is all based on actual value, then it doesn't matter, but I am afraid that many people will sell B-grade jadeite at the price of A-grade jadeite. If we buy such jadeite, it will be very uneconomical for us buyers. Next, I will share with you how to identify B-grade jadeite in the simplest way.

Three ways to identify B-grade jadeite with the naked eye.

The easiest way to judge jade is to look at it directly with your naked eyes without the aid of any tools. But this method requires a certain amount of experience. And you need to grasp the key points. To identify whether a piece of jade is A-grade or B-grade, we mainly look at the following three aspects:

First, you need to see whether the color of a piece of jade is normal. Many jades that have been processed and dyed are not natural enough in color. Bleached jadeite generally appears brighter and less natural, and has an overall yellowish feel. If a piece of jade contains both green and white parts, we feel that the boundary between green and white is very obvious, the extension of the green part is very unnatural, and the bottom is not very clean. This is mostly B-grade jade, which is processed jade.

Second, we can judge whether a piece of jade is B-grade by its luster. The degree of light reflectivity of a piece of jade directly determines its value. For example, with the same jade texture, the light reflectivity of grade A jade is stronger, while the light reflectivity of grade B jade is weaker. A better way is to slowly shake the jade under the light and observe carefully. If the jade has a waxy luster or resinous luster, then it is a B-grade jade. Unprocessed A-grade jadeite generally has a glassy luster.

The third aspect is to judge whether the jade is B-grade jade based on its transparency. The transparency of a piece of jade directly determines the grade and value of the jade. B-grade jadeite is not very transparent because of subsequent processing, such as adding some resin and other materials. However, the glass bottom of A-grade jadeite gives people the feeling that it is very transparent. Another angle is to see whether the color, type and quality of the jade are well matched. If it is B-grade jade, it has undergone post-processing procedures, so its degree of coordination is definitely not as good as that of the original A-grade jade. This is also an important aspect and skill in judging the value and grade of a piece of jade.

Judging whether jade is B-grade jade by its transparency

The above uses color, gloss, and transparency to judge whether a piece of jade is grade A or grade B. As long as we have the ability to identify the authenticity and value of jadeite. When buying jadeite, if someone tells you from the beginning that it is B-grade jadeite and it is priced as such, that is fine. I am afraid that I will spend the price of A-grade jadeite but end up buying B-grade jadeite.
