In the jade market, there is a beautiful landscape. It is not the emerald green color that people are familiar with, but the mysterious and unique purple. The popular jade is called Violet Jade because its color resembles that of the violet flower. Violet jade has a delicate texture, and its noble purple color brings a sense of romance and mystery, inspiring imagination and aftertaste, so it is especially loved by women. However, violet jadeite is very rare, and it is difficult to own a satisfactory treasure. In the market, many unscrupulous merchants use purple chalcedony to impersonate violet jadeite to make huge profits. Therefore, Brother Xuan will show you how to distinguish between the two today, so that you will not be deceived when you buy it. 1. Look at the color distribution The color distribution of purple chalcedony is relatively even, it has a translucent feeling and the color boundaries are not obvious. The color distribution of violet jade is not so uniform nor so transparent. 2. Look at the gloss Although both have a glassy luster, the luster of purple chalcedony looks more restrained, while the luster of violet jadeite is relatively brighter. 3. Look at the jade quality All jade has jadeite properties. The reflection inside the jade can be seen through the surface of violet jade, especially those with a coarse texture are easier to see. However, purple chalcedony does not have the quality of jadeite, and it cannot be seen no matter what its texture is. 4. Look at the texture Violet jadeite does not have naturally formed textures, but naturally formed concentric ring textures can be seen inside most purple chalcedony. 5. Look at the specific gravity The specific gravity of jadeite is 3.25-3.36, and is generally 3.33. The specific gravity of purple chalcedony is 2.581, which is much smaller than that of jadeite. When we can’t tell the difference, we can distinguish them by weighing their specific gravity. The heavier ones are the violet jadeite. 6. Listen to the sound The sound made by violet jadeite when tapped lightly is very crisp, but the sound of purple chalcedony is relatively dull. This method is more practical for identification. fcgc66 fcpf18 |
