The main types of jade that pass off as jadeite are:

Albite jade - the associated mineral of jadeite, also called "foam jade" or "water foam".

Quartzite jade - the color and texture are very similar to jadeite, but the hardness is a little lower, the luster is slightly different, and the composition is completely different.

Taiwan jasper - Taiwan jasper, originated in Taiwan, the main mineral component is quartz, the identification result is quartzite, some are more serious and dyed, some people take this to pass off as Hetian jasper or jadeite.

Agate chalcedony - said to be "chalcedony" is actually an ordinary agate that has been burned to optimize and remove stripes, and is made by dyeing, because the identification certificate of agate chalcedony generally does not specifically indicate whether it has been dyed, so this point is used to issue a "chalcedony" certificate to confuse consumers who do not understand jade, and often boast that chalcedony is a top imperial green jadeite, which is actually only worth a dozen yuan.

2, Nanyang Cui, Nanyang Cui is a fine product in Dushan jade, because the appearance and jadeite are very similar, so it is often used to pass off as jadeite, identification method: we can identify their authenticity by hand, because the density of Nanyang Jade is lower than that of jadeite, so in the same volume, jadeite is more pressed by hand.

3. Prehnite, this kind of jade is often used to pass off as jadeite, because prehnite is very similar to ice jadeite in appearance, it is easy for people to make mistakes, identification method: we can identify from the gloss, because the refractive index of prehnite is very low, resulting in poor gloss, and ice jadeite, due to high transparency, gloss is generally better, sometimes, there will be a phenomenon of "rigidity".
