4hw.com.cn: there is a folk saying that gold is valuable and jade is priceless. The quality of jade is different, and the price can vary thousands of miles. Good jade is invaluable. Jade on the market has long been flooded with fraud. If you want to buy good jade, you must master some jade identification methods. How can jade identify true and false? The following Xiaobian will give you some ways to identify jade, hoping to help you!
1. It is universally acknowledged that there are only jadeite and Hotan jade
At present, only jadeite and Hotan jade are recognized in the world. Among them, jadeite is called the king of jade, and only jewelry made of jadeite produced in Myanmar can be called authentic. Now, Xiuyu produced in Liaoning, Dushan Jade produced in Henan, Lantian jade produced in Shaanxi and all kinds of agates are often seen on the market. These are also called Jade, but they are not jade in the real sense.
Now, there are three kinds of imitation jade on the market. The first is jewelry made of low-grade jade such as Xiuyu, Dushan jade and agate. Merchants express this kind of jade to act as high-grade jade and get it on the market, which is easy to confuse consumers. The second is the artificial jade. The common treatment method is to soak the jade with acid and alkali, and then fill it with colloid. This kind of jade is called B goods. Another manual treatment method is to dye jade manually. This kind of jade is called C goods. The third kind is jewelry similar to jade appearance made of artificial products. For example, some businesses use glass and plastic to make jade bracelets and jade Buddhas and sell them to consumers.
2. When buying jade, you can see the certificate and the color
When purchasing jade, consumers should know whether the jade has the quality verification certificate granted by the state. Generally, the real jade, that is, natural jade, is clearly marked with the word "natural" in the quality verification certificate. If it is not marked, this jade may be manually processed goods B and C.
Consumers can also identify jade by observing its color. The green of natural jade is very natural and does not look dazzling, and the transition between dark green and light green is very natural and does not seem to have a stiff sense of fracture. Moreover, natural jadeite is very bright and emits an oily luster. The luster of imitation jade generally has a turbid feeling like rice soup, and the difference is very obvious. At the same time, consumers can also use two jades of the same kind to collide with each other and listen to the impact sound. The impact sound of natural jadeite is crisp and has a long aftersound, which can last more than one second. The impact sound of imitation jade is so dull that you can hardly hear the aftersound. If consumers are really uncertain, they can go to a professional jewelry appraisal organization for appraisal.
3. Artificial jade is harmful to human body
"If you want to buy jade, you'd better buy natural jade instead of cheap imitation jade of poor quality." Stationmaster Shi said that it has been said since ancient times that people raise jade and jade raise people. The oil secreted by the human body can moisturize jade. Because natural jade is a naturally generated mineral with strong heat dissipation effect, it will have a good cooling effect on the human body after wearing jade. As far as jade bracelets are concerned, they can also massage the human body and reduce the generation of senile spots or other spots. However, after manual treatment of jade, not only will it not have the above effects, but also artificial treatments such as acid, alkali and pigment will have a strong corrosive effect on the skin, and long-term wear will endanger health.
