    Afghan jade pendants sold online range from a few dollars to dozens of yuan, some of which may be real Afghan jade, but some may be fake.

    The real Afghan jade is a stone of low hardness and beauty, not jade in the true sense of the word. And because its texture is soft, it cannot be carved into more complex crafts, so it is relatively low. The production conditions and environment of Afghan jade are relatively relaxed, and the global production is very large, which also leads to its relatively low production.

    But at the same time, some merchants will use fakes to pass off Afghan jade, which may include polyester, resin, glass and other filling-treated miscellaneous stones, or pressed jade powder. The cost of these fakes may be only a few cents, but selling them for a few tens of dollars is a huge profit.

    Therefore, when buying an Afghan jade pendant, you need to choose a reputable merchant and pay attention to the composition and craftsmanship of the product to avoid buying fakes.

    There are different opinions, and I give a relatively fair answer:

    Afghan jade is the saying in the market.

    The test certificate will generally be marked as carbonate jade.

    Carbonate jade belongs to the calcite jade, which is essentially high-grade marble, and Lantian jade is very famous, and it is carbonate jade in essence.

    I get it this time.

    So it is true that Afghan jade is very cheap, and a pendant is only a few dollars.

    But there are also a lot of Afghan jade on the market that have been optimized, so pay attention to the difference.

    In fact, the optimized Afghan jade will be more expensive than the real thing, because the cost is higher, so there are real and fake online purchases, so you should ask clearly.

    Yes. Good luck!

    The reason why Afghan jade is cheap is that its physical and chemical properties are unstable.

    The main reason for the low level of Afghan jade is that its physical and chemical properties are not very stable, because its chemical composition is calcite, the properties are unstable, and the alkali and acid resistance is weak. The first piece of jewelry made with it, if you are in contact with acidic substances in the air for a long time, the reaction will be slow, and the color and luster will gradually fade. Unlike Hetian jade, it is composed of tremolite, which is stable and can be passed on.

    Afghan jade is easy to collapse when encountering knives or other hard objects, and it is also easy to press the line, so many exquisite works cannot be carved. The main jewelry is smooth and plain, and it is mostly used to make bracelets, which is also the reason.

    Afghan jade identification method

    1. Nail scraping

    Scraping with a fingernail is one of the easiest ways to identify Afghan jade, the hardness of Afghan jade is very small, and the nail can be used to scratch the surface with a mixed branch, and even white skin will appear, while the hardness of other materials imitated by Afghan jade will be greater.

    2. Look at the texture

    The texture of Afghan jade is uniform and delicate, shiny and oily, and the cotton wool inside is almost invisible, and it looks relatively clean, and is often used to pass off as white jade or mutton fat jade. Fake Afghan jade generally has certain impurities inside, and the texture is not too delicate.

    3. Look at the feel

    Afghan jade can also be identified by looking at the feel, Afghan is a very light texture of the jade Lu Min, when the Afghan jade and Hetian jade are held in the hand at the same time, you can obviously feel that the feel of Afghan jade is very light, and Hetian jade has a certain feeling of falling on the hand.

    The reason why Afghan jade is cheap is that the quality is not good enough.

    Most of the Afghan jade is of poor quality, the color is not bright enough, and the texture is not delicate enough. Compared with other jade materials, Afghan jade does not have an excellent appearance and appearance, so it is cheaper. Afghan jade is produced in the border region between Afghanistan and Pakistan, where the political and security conditions are relatively unstable, and the conditions for jade mining and processing are also relatively difficult, so the cost is relatively low.

    The market demand for Afghan jade is relatively low, mainly popular with jade collectors and some specific markets, so the market** is relatively cheap. It should be noted that the ** of Afghan jade does not represent its value, and the value of jade is not only determined by its appearance and texture, but also by the influence of historical culture and people's psychological cognition.

    For jade collectors, it is necessary to choose jade according to their own needs and preferences, and at the same time, they need to understand the market and industry information to avoid buying bad quality jade or being cheated.

    Afghan jade is still relatively good.

    Afghan jade, also known as carbonate jade, is mainly composed of calcite, so it is also called calcite jade. A small part of the interior contains tremolite, which has a high hardness. The Afghan jade land jade line is referred to as Ah Liu.

    Afghan jade is also called jade because after it has been polished, it has a very similar appearance to jade, and it also has the beauty of jade.

    Afghan jade is produced in the mountains of Eurasia, where the jade is naturally exposed outside the mountain, exposed to the scorching sun for hundreds of millions of years, but does not lose its moisture and luster, but the color is like clotted fat, grease luster, fine light inside, thick and warm.

    Difference Between Afghan Jade and Hetian Jade:

    1. Density: The density of Afghan jade is lower than that of Hetian jade. If you put the Afghan jade products and Hetian jade products of the same size in your hands, you can clearly feel that the weight of the Hetian jade products is heavier than that of the Afghan products, and you will feel oppressive when you hold it in your hands.

    2. Hardness: The hardness of Afghan jade is relatively low. Carving on Afghan jade with a small steel knife will easily carve traces, while ordinary metal knives are difficult to carve marks on the surface of Hetian jade.

    3. Luster: The transparency of Afghan jade is higher than that of Hetian jade, so the polished Afghan jade products become waxy luster, while Hetian jade becomes greasy luster.
