Jadeite, this is a vast and esoteric world. It has a wide variety of varieties and rich colors, so it has become the first choice for many people to collect and invest. For "burnt red jadeite", you may have just stepped into the world of jadeite and you are puzzled, this is actually an industry term, it is not actually to express the color of jadeite, but to refer to the jadeite after high temperature treatment.
"Burnt red" jadeite is a jadeite that has undergone artificial high temperature treatment to change its color or improve its color purity. This treatment makes the original color of jadeite appear reddish or darkened, hence the name "burnt red". Unfortunately, jadeite that has been treated with "burnt red" will have reduced structural properties and durability, and although it looks brightly colored, it is actually less valuable than jadeite that has not been artificially treated.
So, how to identify "red" jadeite?Don't worry, I'll give you a few suggestions:
1.Observe the color: The color of the jadeite is an important basis for identifying whether it is "burned red". The vast majority of "burnt red" jadeite will be reddish or too dark in color.
2.With the help of luster: If the luster on the surface of the jadeite is too strong, even close to glass, then you need to be wary that this may be a "red" piece of jadeite.
3.Look at the pores: In the sun, use a magnifying glass to observe the jadeite, if you find a honeycomb-like pores, then you have to pay attention, because this may be one of the signs of firing jadeite.
4.Use professional equipment: If you can't determine whether it is a "burnt red" jadeite, you can use a professional instrument such as a spectrometer to identify it.
The above are some basic identification methods for "burnt red" jadeite, I hope it will help you. However, the world of jadeite is deep and complex, and it is often difficult to distinguish the authenticity from personal experience alone.
