There are many types of jade. Among jade, yellow jade is the most difficult to identify. Merchants often pass off inferior products as good ones, using yellow jades such as yellow wax stone and yellow dragon stone to impersonate yellow jade. Here, Teacher Wang will introduce to you how to distinguish them and choose yellow jade correctly. Yellow wax stone is a "new product" that imitates yellow jadeite in the market recently. Unscrupulous vendors often sell yellow wax stone with bright colors and high water content to consumers instead of yellow jadeite. When we get the so-called yellow jadeite, we first observe it with our eyes. If it is yellow jadeite, due to its large crystal grains, we can clearly see the micro-ripples, while yellow wax stone has no jadeite properties and no ripples. In addition, we can judge by their different densities. The density of yellow jade is slightly larger. Under the same volume, yellow jade will undoubtedly be heavier. We can also observe it with a high-power magnifying glass. Due to its different crystal structure, yellow jadeite will show a network distribution characteristic, while yellow wax stone does not. In addition, the refractive index of yellow jadeite is higher than that of yellow wax stone, so the gloss of yellow jadeite is significantly higher than that of yellow wax stone. Yellow jadeite and Huanglong jade are often confused because their colors are very similar and it is difficult for us to distinguish them based on the color. The judgment method can refer to yellow wax stone, which is mainly judged by density and optical properties. The density of Huanglong jade is similar to that of yellow wax stone.
