How to distinguish the authenticity of jadeite? A few simple tricks to expose fake jadeite

As people's living standards improve, jade has entered thousands of households, but the jade products on the market are of varying quality, and it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake. How can you buy the genuine ones? Here are a few simple and practical tips to teach you how to distinguish the real from the fake.

One weight

Since the density of jade itself is relatively large, we can hold the jade in our hands and weigh it a few times. If we feel a heavy downward pressure, it is probably real. Those made of glass or other inferior stones will be lighter. This method is only suitable for medium-sized jadeite.

Second hardness

The hardness of real jade is very high. We can use sharp nails, knives or other hard iron objects to scratch or scrape the surface of jade. If it is real jade, the surface of jade will feel smooth and will not leave any scratches. Jade is harder than glass, so in the case of iron products, you can scratch the glass with jade. If the jade is not damaged but the glass has a scratch, then it is real jade.

Three Voices

Due to the high density of real jade, the sound of knocking will be very crisp. We can tie the jade with a rope, then pick up the rope with our hands to hang the jade in the air, and then gently tap the jade with a hardwood stick. Real jade has a clear and pleasant sound, while fake jade has a dull sound.

Four gloss

The surface of real jade is very smooth when you touch it, and it appears very shiny in the sun. The internal patterns are also very delicate and it feels cool. The fake ones have been soaked in chemicals, so they feel rough to the touch. The surface is not very smooth under the sun, the color appears dull, and there may even be bubbles inside.

Five Fires

This is a more rough method. Just place the jade on a lit candle and roast it with the flame. There will really be no problem, but fake ones will have problems like fading, deformation, or even being roasted black.
