Identifying the authenticity of jadeite jade is crucial and skillful, and it can be called an art in gem identification. Allow me to explain to you the stepping stones of this art so that you can be prepared when you get jadeite.
First of all, we must know that jadeite itself is a gemstone with a hard texture, bright color and sparkling elegance. The mineral elements contained in it make each piece of jadeite have its own rare properties. This requires us to concentrate and observe carefully, and identify the authenticity of jadeite jade according to its color, texture, transparency, weight, hardness and other characteristics.
In terms of color, the real jadeite stone has uniform color and natural color. And the real jadeite color is confusing, and it often makes people amazed. Fake jadeite is uneven in color, and although it looks colorful, it is full of artificiality.
From the point of view of texture, the texture of real jadeite jade is smooth, and the inner temperament is elegant and rich, while the fake jadeite has scattered textures and many adulterants. And the sound of real jadeite is crisp and pleasant, while the fake jadeite looks hoarse.
Judging by the transparency, the transparency of real jadeite is high, and it is as warm as jade, especially in the sun, which can reflect the natural brilliance. Although fake jadeite can also achieve high transparency, it can never hide the light and shadow after artificial treatment.
Compared to the weight, the real jadeite is heavier, while the fake jadeite will feel light and fluttery. In addition, the hardness of jadeite is also very important, its hardness value is about 7, and the hardness is higher than that of steel documents, so we can use hard objects such as steel documents to carve, real jadeite will not be scratched, while fake jadeite is easy to scratch.
Don't forget that there is another trick, that is, lick the jadeite with your tongue, the real jadeite will have a cool feeling, while the fake one generally does not.
In general, identifying the authenticity of jadeite requires a pair of eyes, a careful mind, and at the same time, a wealth of experience and knowledge.
