So, how to distinguish the authenticity of such a precious and subtle waxy jadeite?Let's listen to the opinion of "Wen'er Jade".
First of all, let's walk into the world of waxy jadeite. Glutinous jadeite, as the name suggests, has germplasm characteristics similar to glutinous rice, with a slight sense of transparency, delicate and white, giving people a soft feeling. Among the jadeite species, it has moderate transparency, not as translucent as the glass species, and not as turbid as the bean species. In fact, it is this unique texture and luster that makes it the object of favor of many collectors.
Next, let's talk about tips for distinguishing the real from the fake. To identify the authenticity of waxy jadeite, you can start from the following aspects:
1.*Observe the appearance**: The color of the real waxy jadeite will be more restrained, and it will not be as bright and exaggerated as dyed jadeite. Secondly, the surface of the real waxy jadeite will have a layer of wax-like luster, if it is a fake or artificially treated jadeite, this "wax light" will appear abnormal or unnatural.
2.*Tactile Inspection**: Feel is also a simple and effective identification method. When the real glutinous jadeite is touched, it will have a warm and delicate feeling, and there is a sense of weight. Fake or inferior imitations often feel dry to the touch, or light and weightless.
3.*Transparent observation**: You can use a flashlight or sunlight to see through the jadeite, the real waxy jadeite will show a uniform structure under the light, not so translucent but delicate and uniform. If it is a fake or chemically treated jadeite, unnatural patches of color or cloud-like traces can often be seen in bright light.

The texture of true waxy jadeite should be naturally formed, and defects such as internal inclusions and textures are naturally scattered.
5.*Professional organization testing**: If you are not very sure, the safest way is of course to send it to a professional jewelry testing institution for testing, and determine the authenticity of waxy jadeite through professional equipment and expert identification.
