The difference between jadeite and jade, how to distinguish between jadeite and jade

Jadeite is the highest of all jade, so the biggest difference with jade is the **. The Mohs hardness of jadeite is that the specific gravity is to, generally grams per cubic centimeter; The Mohs hardness of jade is that the specific gravity of nephrite is generally grams per cubic centimeter. The jadeite component is mainly jadeite, and the mineral component of sodium aluminum silicate.

The jade component is calcium magnesium silicate, mainly tremolite and a small amount of actinolite. --Quote from knowing.

Jadeite is a species of jade, known as the king of jade, and is the highest variety of jade. Green is the main color of jadeite, the richer the green, the better the quality, has now become a rare item on the market, and only Myanmar has a large number of jadeite in the world, China, Malaysia unearthed jadeite quality can not meet the requirements, the quantity can not be met, so jadeite is also known as Myanmar jade, Myanmar is the world's largest jadeite trading base, jadeite trading has become the main national economy of Myanmar.

Jade is divided into jadeite and nephrite based on its density and hardness. China's Hetian jade and Huanglong jade is a kind of nephrite, the character of jadeite is the light exposed, the color is dazzling, because of the high cost of most of the small jewelry, rarely made into a huge ornament.

Jadeite is now unearthed less and less, and ** is getting higher and higher. A small jade bracelet may be as high as millions of yuan, there are also a lot of counterfeits on the market, the jade industry is now more chaotic, with countless fake and real objects, counterfeiting means are becoming more and more advanced, to have the basic ability to identify the real and fake.

What is the difference between jadeite and jade.

Ingredient differences

Jadeite composition: jadeite is the main component, followed by omphalus, sodium chromium pyroxene, neonite, hornblende, albite, etc. Sodium aluminum silicate, mineral composition.

Jade composition: calcium magnesium silicate, the mineral composition is mainly a small amount of actinolite for tremolite.

Origin differences

Origin of jadeite: The main origin of jadeite is Myanmar.

Jade origin: Hotan, Qinghai, China, Russia, Chuncheon, South Korea, Canada (mainly jasper).

Embedded cultural differences

Jadeite culture: Jadeite from Myanmar into China is only one or two hundred years old, because the Empress Dowager Cixi loved, and then slowly became popular among the people, and the cultural heritage is much worse than Hetian jade.

Jade culture: jade has a history of 8,000 years in China, has a profound cultural heritage, jade has five virtues: benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, bravery, clean, the ancients often said that the humble gentleman is as gentle as jade, so the cultural heritage is much thicker than jade.

Suitable for the wearer to distinguish the difference

The character of jadeite is that the light is exposed, the color is dazzling, and it is more suitable for women, which will make women more charming and brilliant, and men are suitable for wearing jade, which will appear to be elegant, calm and restrained.

Jadeite is also a type of jade, but jadeite has its own characteristics.

First, the physical characteristics (density, hardness, refractive index) are different from other jade; second, the color characteristics are different (illustrated with pictures); Third, the market, value, and popularity are much larger than those of other jade.

The differences between jadeite and jade are as follows:1. The concept is differentJadeite is one of the types of jade, and most jadeite belongs to jadeite; Jade in a broad sense includes jadeite and nephrite.

2. Different hardness:The Mohs hardness of jadeite is generally to 7, and the specific gravity is generally to grams per cubic centimeter; The hardness of jade is generally to the specific gravity, generally to grams per cubic centimeter.

3. The appearance is differentThe jadeite is bright and glassy; The appearance of jade is warm, greasy and rustic, without emerald color but slightly transparent.

4. Different ingredients:Jadeite is mostly jadeite, so its chemicals are mainly mineral components such as aluminum sodium silicate; The components of jade are mainly calcium, magnesium, silicate, etc.

1. The concept is different: Jadeite is a fibrous aggregate composed of pyroxene minerals, mainly jadeite minerals. But jadeite is not equal to jadeite. There are two kinds of jade: soft and hard, and the jade that is usually referred to refers to nephrite.

2. The shape of the crystalline particles is differentJade is a mineral crystalline particle structure with white sugar-like particles; Jadeite is a columnar or fibrous crystalline particle structure; Jadeite has a characteristic "emerald nature", while nephrite does not have this property.

3. Different luster:The surface of the jade presents a grease luster of inconsistent strength, and the luster is soft and warm, so people understand it as warm jade. The reflective luster of jadeite presents a rigid glass luster, and the luster reveals a cold chill, so it is called cold jade.

Judging by the nature of jadeite and jade. Jadeite is a kind of jade, but because the purity of jadeite is very high, and the color is high-quality, it is different from many ordinary jade. The hardness of jadeite will be relatively high, and it can be seen that it is a fibrous aggregate, which is weaker and more jadeite than nephrite.

Secondly, it can be seen from the luster of jadeite and jade. Generally speaking, the color of jade is relatively light and soft, and its distribution will also show parallel strips of color, which are easy to distinguish and will give people a very mild feeling. The luster of jadeite will be more rigid, and there will generally be a gradual process of depth and shade.

Both jade and jadeite in general can be judged by observing the color of both.

Jadeite is also a type of jade, which is called jadeite, and other Hetian jade, such as jadeite, is called nephrite. Mainly distinguished by its hardness, jadeite has a higher hardness than nephrite.

Jadeite is originally a kind of jade, jade is a very broad concept, according to the different hardness, it can be divided into jadeite and nephrite, jadeite hardness is between, which can become gem-quality, jadeite with artistic value and collection value, is jadeite, therefore, jadeite is actually a kind of jadeite. The hardness of nephrite jade can be divided into many types of jade, among which Hetian jade is the most outstanding representative of all nephrite. Due to the highest status of jadeite in the jade world today, in some occasions, jadeite has even become synonymous with "jade", and some merchants will directly use "jade" to refer to jadeite.

What is the difference between jadeite and jade.

Jadeite is also a type of jadeJade is divided into nephrite and jadeite. Nephrite is represented by Hetian jade, and jadeite is represented by jadeite

So the jade you ask should be related to Hetian jade, Xiuyu, Dushan jade...If you compare it with jadeiteThen there are some features.

The most important thing about jadeite is that it is jadeite. There are differences in physical propertiesI compare it with Hetian jade jadeite.

Hardness: Hetian jade hardness, jadeite hardness 7

Refractive index: about Hetian jade, about jadeite.

Density: Hetian jade, jadeite.

Features: Hetian jade fine fiber interweaving structure, jadeite fiber interweaving structure Jadeite: Hetian jade none, jadeite has.
