Jadeite is a type of jadeite that has been artificially treated, and its color is formed by the addition of a dye. Since the color of dyed jadeite is artificially added, there is a difference in color from natural jadeite, which can be identified by some methods.
First, observe the color of the jadeite. The color of dyed jadeite is usually too bright or too dull, and there is a noticeable difference from the color of natural jadeite. In addition, the color distribution of dyed jadeite can also be uneven, with dark colors in some places and light colors in others.
Second, observe the texture of the jadeite. The texture of dyed jadeite is usually loose, with poor light transmission, and there may be obvious bubbles in some places. The texture of natural jadeite is usually relatively compact, with good light transmittance and no bubbles.
In addition, some professional testing methods can also be used to identify dyed jadeite. For example, if the jadeite is irradiated with a UV lamp, if the jadeite is dyed, then it will show a fluorescent reaction under the UV lamp. In addition, specialized dye detection reagents can be used to detect whether jadeite is dyed.
It should be noted that dyed jadeite is harmful to the human body, so be especially careful when buying. If you find that the jadeite you buy is dyed, you should stop wearing it immediately and seek help from a professional body.
