How to distinguish the real from the fake, and how to distinguish the real from the fake

There are 3 ways to identify the authenticity of jade:

1. Temperature, jade is a beautiful natural ore, and its stony nature leads to its cold texture. Put it in your hand and play with it, the real jade will have a cold feeling, it will become hot after a while, and it will become cold after being placed, while the fake jade will not feel cold in your hand.

2. Transparency, jade is mostly transparent or translucent, in the natural light of the jade, the real jade will produce a bright and transparent luster, put the hand behind the jade and shake, the shadow of the hand is clearly visible. The fake jade has low transparency, and the luster will be gray and gloomy.

3. Sound, tap the jade with your hand, the real jade molecular structure is delicate and tight, and the sound is crisp and pleasant, while the sound of fake jade is dull and hoarse, and the sound is not as loud as real jade.

4. Drip identification method, drop a drop of water on the jade, if it is a real jade that does not disperse for a long time like a dewdrop, the water droplets will disappear quickly It is a fake jade.

Among the many members of the jade family, the most valuable is jadeite. It is a natural ore with extremely high hardness and minimal production. Its colors are mainly green and red. The red is jade, and the green is emerald, hence the name jade.

There are several main ways to identify the quality of jadeite:

First of all, look at how transparent the texture is.

Generally speaking, the jade is the best transparent or seemingly transparent, and connoisseurs call it "old jade", and it is also the most valuable. Translucent jade is called "new and old species", and the price is secondary. The jade is opaque, and the dry ones are called "new jade" and have a low value.

The second is to look at the color.

Jadeite is rich in color, including green, red, purple, gray, yellow, white and other colors, the most precious of which is green. According to the shade of green, it is subdivided into more than 10 kinds such as ruby green, bright green, and glass green. The high-quality emerald green is intense, transparent, oily, and free of impurities, and its sound is crisp and loud when struck with a hard instrument.

There are two common types of fake jadeite on the market: imitation of useful materials and bright color (i.e., added color).

The imitation of the material is made of glass by artificial roasting, its structure is loose, the green is more uniform and dark, and some have bubbles. Its voice is hoarse when struck with a hard object.

Bright jadeite is made by heating colorless jadeite or white jade and putting it in a green liquid, so that the green color penetrates into small cracks. When you shine in the sun, you can see that its green color is all in the lines, and the lines are messy and fine. Its weight is slightly lighter than that of real jadeite.

Most of the green of the bright jadeite flashes yellow and blue, and the color is not as bright and beautiful as the natural green, and it will fade over time, turn yellow or blue.

The easiest way to identify jade.

It is generally not too difficult to distinguish the authenticity of jade.

The jade quality and color are unnatural, too bright, too transparent, and too uniform, which are basically fakes, otherwise it will not be your turn to buy; The "beautiful" and inexpensive jade and jade are basically fakes, and no one will sell their high-quality goods cheaply; The goods in the stalls and scenic spots are either fake or junk.

Keeping these points in mind can eliminate at least 95% of fakes and junk goods.
