What is foam jade and is foam jade worth it

Foam jade is an associated mineral of jadeite, which is also known as water foam. Foam jade is very crystalline, and there are many tiny bubbles in its raw ore, which looks like a slight splash of water, so it has the name of foam. According to the texture, foam jade can be divided into ice, waxy and glass.

Foam jade, also known as terrazzo jade, is the common name of albite jade and quartzite jade, in the border area of China and Myanmar is also commonly known as water foam, Tengchong, Ruili on the border of China and Myanmar Yunnan Locals call the water splash foam, because the foam jade has crystal clear attributes, named after this.

Commonly known as "water foam", it is an associated mineral of jadeite and has the same long history as jadeite. Foam jade has crystal clear attributes, there are many tiny bubbles in the raw ore, which seems to be a splash, and the origin of the splash is called "foam", so it is named after it.

Foam jade is a folk name for albite jade and quartzite jade, foam jade is a kind of albite rock, the water head is very good silver, often transparent or translucent. In appearance, colorless, white foam jade resembles colorless glass ice jade; There is a little green foam jade, which is very similar to the "floating blue flower" jadeite.

The jadeite is 3 33, while the water foam is zhidao2 6 2 8, and the jadeite is much heavier than the water foam. Directly weighed by hand, the jadeite is obviously heavy, and it is more beaten; And the water foam is light when you guess the ruler, which looks thin and chaotic, and there is no sense of sinking. The hardness is different.

Foam jade is not worth much.

The luster of jadeite is incomparable to that of foam jade. If the luster is weak, there is no sense of jewelry, and in short, it is a little low. There is also the yield to be considered.

You must know that the yield of foam jade is very large. When a thing is produced in large enough quantities, that's when it's not worth much. Another point is that the foam jade is still very brittle, that is, it is easy to break.

Foam jade belongs to nephrite in the slag-containing cherry magnesite, the texture is soft and fragile, and the impact resistance and wear resistance are poor, compared with jadeite stone species such as jadeite, it is more likely to be scratched and damaged, so its stability is not as good as jadeite stone, the ore yield rate is higher, and the market is relatively sufficient. The origin of foam jade is widely distributed, mainly in Jilin, Liaoning, Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang and other places in China, and the output is relatively large, so for the proportion of supply and demand in the market, the supply exceeds demand, resulting in a general low level.

Characteristics of foam jade

Foam jade belongs to the associated mineral of jadeite, its appearance is crystal clear, and there are tiny bubbles like water splashes inside the original ore, so it is named foam jade. The origin of foam jade is Myanmar, and its appearance is the same as jadeite, which is transparent from opaque to full beam, but the luster of foam jade is relatively poor, and there are generally hidden cracks and white cotton.

Foam jade is actually the associated mineral of jadeite, so it has a long history like jadeite, the outside of this jade is crystal clear, there are more tiny bubbles in the original ore, it looks like a splash, so it is named "foam". The main source of foam jade is Myanmar, its main mineral components are albite, quartzite, in addition to a small amount of pyroxene minerals and hornblende minerals, the appearance of this jade is the same as jadeite, from opaque to fully transparent.

1. Magnified observation method: the foam is mainly composed of albite, which is not emerald and has more white naphtha or cotton.

2. Hand method: the specific gravity of water foam (much smaller than the specific gravity of jadeite, and it has an obvious sense of lightness than jadeite.)

3. Determination of refractive index method: the refractive index of water foam (much smaller than the refractive index of jadeite.

4. Looking at the luster, the luster of the foam is relatively weak, which is due to the low refractive index.

5. Look at the characteristics of the water foam--- bubble string, note that it is generally not an imaginary large bubble, but usually very small, parallel small bubble string, rough look like a crystalline pattern, under the magnifying glass will find that it is a small bubble string, but the small bubble string may be filled by impurities to form a small floating flower.

6. Look at the grains through the light, and the grains of the water foam can be seen through the light, and their size is uniform, with a diameter of 1-2mm, and the shape is different from that of jadeite.

Summary. Foam jade will be sold in the form of suede, most of the foam jade suede is concentrated in about 50 yuan, and there are a small number of better quality foam jade suede sold to about 200-300 hundred.

The bracelet made of foam jade is a relatively high kind of jade bracelet, generally about 3000 yuan, and the foam jade bracelet looks very beautiful, without cracks, and is formed in one piece.

Hello, if you want to consult about the question, please describe your problem in detail, I am convenient to answer for you.

Look at what stones.

Hello, I answer the customer service specialist, not the appraiser.

All right. Hello, dear, do you have any other questions, I will answer them for you one by one.

No. Okay, dear.

Summary. The general foam jade is about 800 1200, of course, the purity of the foam jade is close to 10,000 yuan.

Foam jade approximately**.

Hello, dear, happy to serve you.

The general foam jade is about 800 1200, of course, the purity of the foam jade is close to 10,000 yuan.

What stones help to see.

Kind of like yellow wax stone.

You can go to your local jewelry and jade testing center, and they will give you specific data, as well as types, including certificates. You can also go, geological stone testing center, and other third-party testing. If you want to make an estimate, you can go directly to a collection store or something.

Translucent. He does not charge for identification.

You should still receive it, but he will induce you to sell it to him.

So when I go to the appraisal, I have more eyes on it.

It is recommended that you go to several appraisals. Good.
