The so-called A-grade jadeite is actually a common commercial name for natural jadeite. It refers to jadeite that has only been artificially polished and has not undergone any optimization treatment and has pure natural color and texture. It can be said that A-grade jade is one of the most popular gems on the market. But because of this, there are many A-grade jade imitations on the market. Unscrupulous merchants often pass off inferior products as good ones and use counterfeit and shoddy products to deceive consumers in order to make huge profits. So today we are going to talk about the most direct method to identify A-grade jadeite to help everyone buy real A-grade jadeite. The most direct way to identify A-grade jadeite is to learn to see its flaws. Why do I say that? Because A-grade jade is a crystalline mineral formed under high pressure, low temperature and in areas with intense crustal movement, its harsh formation environment means that it usually has scars, or flaws. And those few perfect A-grade jadeite are not found in the ordinary jewelry market, so learning to see flaws is the most direct way to identify A-grade jadeite. "Cotton" can be said to be the most common defect in A-grade jadeite. It is a white floc-like inclusion in jadeite. If it is glass or other quartzite imitations, it will not have this special structure. However, this defect cannot be ruled out in B and C-grade jadeite. Another flaw of A-grade jadeite is "dirty spots", which are black crystal particles or impurities inside the jadeite. First of all, glass or other quartzite imitations will not have this feature. Secondly, B-grade jadeite will not have it, because B-grade jadeite has been cleaned with strong acid to remove impurities and unclean base color. Therefore, if the base of the jade jewelry is particularly clean, without any yellow or gray components, and it looks white to the naked eye, then you should suspect whether it is B-grade jade. The surface of A-grade jadeite is usually not perfectly smooth. When observed under magnification, some pits can often be seen. These pits are usually caused by natural defects or improper post-processing. However, this must be distinguished from the acid-etched reticulation on the surface of B-grade jadeite.
