1, look at the luster of jadeite: the refractive index of jadeite with different qualities is different, which leads to great differences in the luster of jadeite. The surface of natural jade has obvious luster, although some impurities and patterns are normal. The surface luster of fake jade is relatively dull, and the overall appearance has no aura, giving people a dull feeling.
2. Look at the color of jade: Most fake jade is fake in color. Then if you want to distinguish the authenticity of jade, you can observe it carefully with a magnifying glass. The real jadeite has different shades, and the distribution of colors is irregular. The color of fake jade is mostly bright and colorful, and the color distribution is more uniform, so the color transition looks unnatural.
3, the weight of jade: the real jade has a certain sense of weight in your hand, and the weight is enough. The weight of fake jade is very light, because most fake jade is made of glass, and the proportion of glass itself is lighter than that of natural jade, so the lightness of jade must be fake.
4. Listen to the voice of jade: If you want to distinguish the authenticity of jade, you can prepare a wooden stick or metal stick and tap the surface of jade. If the voice is clear and loud, it is real jade, if the voice is low, it is fake jade.
Characteristics of jade
Jadeite is divided into nephrite and jadeite, and jadeite refers to jadeite, which is characterized by high transparency and delicate texture. The higher the transparency, the finer the texture of jadeite, and the hardness of jadeite is about 7. Nephrite refers to Hetian jade, which is characterized by being oily, translucent to opaque, and its hardness is about 6.5.
Hetian jade has great toughness, and toughness is especially important for jade. Toughness is not easy to break, but also wear-resistant, suitable for artistic modeling and fine carving of jade, and can be preserved for a long time. Hetian jade has high hardness, which is one of the important standards of jade quality.
