Four tips to distinguish the authenticity of jadeite:

Today, when the devil is always more capable than the good, counterfeiting and selling of fake goods are rampant, especially in the expensive field of jewelry and jade, where jade is the most popular counterfeit target among unscrupulous traders. No one wants to pour countless emotions, invest a lot of time and energy, and especially a lot of money, only to get a fake product in return. Here, I will teach you, especially those who are new to jade, four tips on how to determine if jade is genuine or fake. These are conscientious tips that you must learn.

The first step is to look

What are you looking at? Of course, it depends on the texture of the jade, especially its transparency. The best jade is transparent or nearly transparent. Jade that is opaque and dry is called "new jade" and has a lower value. How should we identify the authenticity of jade by looking? The most direct, effective and simple way is to hold the jade under the light or shine a flashlight to see the impurities, cracks, crystal distribution, transparency, color, etc. inside the jade. The best ones have fewer impurities, small cracks, evenly distributed crystals, translucent properties, and emerald green color. Of course, seeing is a science and it is impossible to master it all at once. At least, many surface phenomena are particularly obvious and can be easily noticed even by non-experts, so one can be more careful.

The second step is to listen

What to listen to? Of course, it is to listen to the sound. When you tap gently on natural jade, it produces a crisp and pleasant sound, while artificially treated jade produces a low, dull sound. Scientific research shows that the density of jade is between 3.25 and 3.43, especially good jade, their density is no less than 3.33. Therefore, the collision of these jades sounds extremely pure and pleasant to our ears, just like the sound of percussion instruments, which experts call "steel sound". For beginners, it is recommended that you find relevant video tutorials on the Internet, especially the sound part, and save them on your mobile phone for comparison at any time.

The third trick: weigh

This is the intuitive feeling of the texture of jade, everything depends on the feel. Due to the high density of jade, it feels like hitting your hand when you hold it in your hand; jade has a strong water-holding capacity, and when you drop water on it, the water droplets protrude high. Each cubic meter of jade is heavier than other jades such as nephrite, Australian jade, Malayan jade, and grape jade. Be careful about some products that are obviously light and lack texture, so don't be deceived.

The fourth step: touch

The main thing is to feel the smoothness and smoothness of the jade surface. Because jade is very hard, its structure is dense and delicate. After polishing, it can have a very high surface smoothness and polishing degree. When touching it with your hand, you can clearly feel the smoothness, and the smoothness is obvious, rather than giving people a rough feeling. In addition to hands, we can also "touch" with our face. "Touching" with our face means putting the jade on the face. Because jade has the characteristic of fast heat dissipation, you will feel a cool feeling when you "touch" it with your face. This is also a basic method to identify jade without the need for any tools.
