Speaking of chalcedony, many people have the impression that it is an "imposter".
bargains". Chalcedony is considered to be a cheap and poor jade.
In fact, when the ** of chalcedony is higher than the ** of jade!
Like the above piece is called "Mountain People's Legacy Ink", the texture is delicate and smooth.
It is the chalcedony family: marine chalcedony, abbreviation: sea jade.
It is a kind of rich color
Patterns, patterns of rare jade,
It has the properties of agate.
The transaction price of this chalcedony actually reached 3.5 million!
broke everyone's inherent impression of chalcedony, and it turned out that the value of chalcedony can be so high!
But the number of marine chalcedony is very small, so it will be high.
And the common chalcedony, ** is very cheap.
It is also this part of chalcedony that makes it an impostor.
Because the color of chalcedony is uniform, the texture is transparent, and it looks a little similar to jadeite, which gives bad merchants "bad play", and sells some cheap chalcedony as high-grade jadeite, which makes it miserable for those unknown jade friends.
In fact, to distinguish the difference between the two, it is not difficult to distinguish from the following three points:
Left bracket1. Color rootLeft bracketChalcedony is uniform in color,
Transitions of colors are barely visible.
The color of jadeite varies from shade to shade, and the color change can be clearly seen.
Generally, there are only high-grade jadeite.
I can't see the change in color.
Therefore, merchants use chalcedony as a high-grade jadeite.
2 Left brackets2. Fly wingsThe fly wings in the left bracket are a unique symbol of natural jadeite, and you can't go wrong with it to identify whether it is jadeite.
The jadeite rotates with the light source
The surface will show flakes of different sizes
Like the wings of a fly.
"Knock-offs" like chalcedony
There will be no such characteristics.
So fly wings are to distinguish real from fake jadeite.
One of the most intuitive ways to do this.
3 Left middle brackets3. The density is differentThe density of chalcedony in the left bracket is 258~2.Between 64, the density of jadeite is 33~3.Between 36.
Jadeite has a high density,
There is a feeling of pressure in the hand.
That is, at the same size, jadeite is a little heavier than chalcedony.
When you buy jadeite, you must keep your eyes open, see more and learn more Xi, and use the above methods to identify, but the best way is to send it for testing!
