Jadeite, with its unique charm, has been loved by people since ancient times. However, with the advancement of technology, the methods of jadeite counterfeiting are becoming more and more innovative, and how to identify natural jadeite has become a skill that we must master. Below, we will introduce the difference between jadeite grade ABC and how to identify natural jadeite.
First, the difference between jadeite ABC goods
1.A jadeite: natural jadeite without artificial treatment, which maintains its internal structure and is not damaged for beautification or optimization. These jadeites are usually processed into various ornaments, ornaments or rough stone flakes.
2.B Cargo Jadeite: Jadeite that has been dyed and treated to increase its transparency by physical or chemical methods. Because it is soaked in strong acid, it is also nicknamed "shower" jadeite in the industry.
3.C goods jadeite: jadeite that has been filled and dyed, and the pale or colorless jadeite is processed into a colorful finished product by artificial methods. Red or green dyes are often added, also known as "dyed" jadeite.
2. How to distinguish natural jadeite.
1.Purple light irradiation: Natural jadeite has no fluorescent effect under violet light irradiation, while chemically treated jadeite will produce a fluorescent effect. For example, the non-fluorescence effect on the left side of these two jadeite bracelets under violet light proves that they are natural jadeite.
2.Observe the color: There are certain natural differences in the color of natural jadeite, while the color of dyed jadeite is usually too clustered and has no change. This is also one of the important methods to identify ABC goods.
3.Check for blemishes: Real jadeite is transparent and shiny, generally without cracks, spots or black spots. If there are cracks, spots, or black spots, the jadeite is flawed, and it is relatively low. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully check the inside of jadeite when buying it.
4.Water droplets: Water droplets fall on the surface of the jadeite, and the real jadeite will form a dewdrop-like shape and will not fall off easily. This method can help us to easily detect the authenticity of jadeite (for reference only).
5.Touch texture: Touch the real jadeite, you can feel cool, smooth, and the texture is excellent. This is one of the important means to identify natural jadeite.
Identifying natural jadeite requires a certain amount of skill and experience. By observing the color, checking the flaws, observing the water droplets, touching the texture and other methods, we can more accurately judge the authenticity of jadeite. When buying jadeite, consumers should be vigilant and choose reputable merchants to buy to ensure that the jadeite purchased is natural**.
