I spent 100,000 yuan to buy top-quality jadeite, but it actually faded when I wore it in winter?

Recently, there is a saying that you cannot wear spring-colored jadeite in winter because the cold temperature is in conflict with the "spring" in spring-colored jadeite and will freeze the "spring" in it. This is nonsense, but an older sister really encountered such a thing. What happened?

This lady fell in love with a piece of spring-colored jadeite at first sight in the market and bought it for 100,000 yuan on the spot. She was so happy that she put it on immediately after returning home. She was reluctant to take it off even when taking a bath or sleeping, and she would touch and play with it from time to time.

But after only a few days of wearing it, something strange happened. The purple color on the Chundaicai jadeite was slowly disappearing, and finally disappeared completely. She remembered that she had heard before that jadeite should not be worn in winter, so she thought that the "Spring" on the Chundaicai jadeite was frozen away by the low temperature.

Speaking of this, I am sure all jade lovers will laugh. This obviously has nothing to do with low temperatures. The real "spring" with colorful flowers will never disappear. So where did the "spring" of this lady go? The only explanation is that the "Spring" is actually a polishing powder colorant.

Polishing powder is a common auxiliary raw material in the jade processing industry and has been used by Chinese jewelry companies for more than ten years. It is similar to talcum powder. Through large-area friction, it makes the surface of jade round and smooth and the color bright. Most polishing powders are colorless.

However, some merchants will choose polishing powders of different colors according to the color of the jade itself: using purple polishing powder for light green and white jade to dress it up as "multicolored jade", and using green polishing powder for pure white jade to dress it up as colored jade, causing the value of the jade to increase "tenfold".

After being "decorated" with polishing powder, a white jade pendant that originally cost only a few hundred yuan can easily be sold for thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan. This is because in the eyes of most buyers: "color" is the most important factor in determining the value of jade. Regardless of the quality of jade, colored jade has always been favored by consumers.

As for the reason why merchants counterfeit jade, it is because the price of purple jade has increased faster in recent years, and the purple polishing powder has a good coloring effect. Therefore, some unscrupulous merchants use polishing powder to dress up low-grade jade. Among the counterfeit cases detected by jewelry testing stations, there are more fake purple jade than fake green jade.

Therefore, Lao Wang reminds jade lovers that they must learn more about jade identification knowledge before purchasing jade so as not to be deceived by merchants. In fact, the most important thing when buying jade is not whether the color is bright enough or the quality is good enough. The most important thing is to ensure that the jade we buy is pure natural and harmless.
