With these practical jade identification tips, you will say goodbye to being fooled!

1. From the surface

Fake jade usually has bumps and pits on the surface like "orange peel". This is a phenomenon caused by strong acid treatment. Generally, you can't see anything. Only with a high-power magnifying glass can you see these phenomena clearly. Of course, this method cannot be applied to all jade. Jade with poor texture or old jade unearthed will also have this phenomenon.

2. From the structure

The jadeite produced by merchants generally has a loose structure, is not tight, and has a waxy luster, rather than the clarity that jadeite should have.

3. From the color

The color of processed jade products usually appears on the surface and cannot penetrate into the interior of the jade, while the color of natural jade is extremely clear and can pass through.

4. Experience through touch

If you touch it with your hand, real jade will feel cool. Processed jade will not feel comfortable to the touch and will not have a smooth feeling.

4. Experience through hearing

You can do a small experiment. Use a rope to tie up the jade and lift them up and collide them against each other. The real jade will make a crisp sound, while the artificial one will make a muffled sound.

5. Learn from hearing

Generally speaking, natural products have no odor, and those with strange smells are usually artificial.

After reading this, you will know whether the jade in your hand is real or fake. No need to worry about giving fake gifts anymore.
