It is actually very simple to tell whether jade is A-grade. Even an ordinary person can tell it with this trick.

When you go to jewelry distribution centers and tourist attractions to choose jade, high-end goods are out of reach for most people, and many merchants cannot afford such goods. However, the most suitable ones are B goods or B+C goods that are both cheap and beautiful. Usually, merchants have to charge a high price for such goods, and customers will feel that they have gotten a bargain only after sufficient bargaining.

So how can you generally distinguish such BC goods? If I tell you in professional language that natural jade is as bright and sharp as glass, with concentrated and non-divergent reflective points and high transparency; and that BC goods jade has a weak luster, similar to the luster of oil or wax, and not as bright as A goods, then you may understand? Can you help me distinguish between good and bad?

Or I can also tell you that natural jadeite makes a crisp, bright and long sound when knocked, while BC jadeite makes a hoarse and short sound. Do you dare to knock it? If you accidentally create a chip or crack, you will be in trouble. Many seemingly reasonable and professional words are actually not suitable for everyone, so you will be fooled anyway.

For example, the diffusion and filling of dyes that can be seen with a flashlight, or the deep and shallow pits under a magnifying glass, can only be understood by professionals. Some people also say that you should be careful if you see jadeite with excellent quality and color is very cheap, but what should you do if the merchant raises the price? This is because most tourists have no idea about the market price, they only know that the product should be cheap at the place of origin and they buy it if the seller seems to be speaking reasonably.

In fact, I want to tell you that it is enough to bring a purple flashlight. No matter whether it is B, C, or B+C goods, there will be fluorescent reflections either inside or outside under the illumination of the purple flashlight, which means it is undoubtedly not A-grade goods. Here you should pay attention to the purple light flashlight illumination must be carried out in a relatively dark environment to see clearly. The flashlight should not be too close. Try it in multiple directions at a 45-degree angle to see clearly.

This method of identifying natural optimized jadeite is very effective and direct. You will know it if you try it in the market when you have time. However, this method will not work if there are other things impersonating as aventurine, Dushan jade, chalcedony, etc. At this time, you can use white light to illuminate it, and you will find bright white reflective features like fly wings, which often appear in long strips or irregular flakes. The jade grains are coarse and obvious, and the "jade quality" is rare when the jade grains are very fine, such as the old pit glass jade, the "jade quality" is difficult to see with the naked eye, but after artificial processing, no "fly wings" are visible on the jade.

Therefore, it is a good idea to bring a professional flashlight with you when you go out. You can use white light or yellow light for illumination at night. In addition to illuminating the glue fillings of various jades and gemstones and the fluorescent reaction of beeswax and amber, its purple light can also be used to check banknotes, read the anti-counterfeiting watermarks on invoices and cigarettes, etc., or as a hard object for self-defense.

This versatile high-intensity flashlight for jade is a magic weapon for players and professionals, especially at the ghost market and night market, where many foreign objects can't hide. The glue repairs on many old objects such as bronze and porcelain will show a fluorescent reaction under ultraviolet light . Is this identification method simple and direct enough?
