How to distinguish the quality of jade

Because everyone says that jade is an ornament that nourishes people and protects their owners, so many people in life will wear a piece of jade themselves. The healthier the jade worn by people, the more transparent and crystal clear it is. The better the quality of the jade, the more transparent the jade looks. In addition, jade is divided into many varieties, including hibiscus jade, Lantian jade, and jadeite. Some people can't tell which kind of jade is of good quality and which one is authentic. So how do you judge the quality of jade?

1. Water drop identification method. Drop a drop of water on jade. If the water stays for a long time like dewdrops, it is real jade. If the water drop disappears quickly, it is fake jade.

2. Touch with your hands. If you touch real jade, it will feel cool and smooth, while fake jade will feel rough.

3. Observe with your eyes. Place the jade towards a bright spot, such as sunlight or light. If the color is clear and the green is evenly distributed, it is real jade. Some jade has small bubbles inside, which is fake jade.

4. Lick with your tongue. When you lick real jade with the tip of your tongue, it feels astringent, but there is no such feeling with fake jade.

5. Wrap it with hair. Real jade hair will not burn continuously, but fake jade hair will break in the fire. Please note that it must be wrapped tightly, otherwise it will burn off.

6. View with a magnifying glass. Put the jade you bought under a magnifying glass and look at it mainly to see if there are cracks. Jade without cracks is good jade, while jade with cracks is not so good. Even if it is real jade, its value will not be high.

7. Place the jade on the glass and scratch it. The real jade will be fine, but it will scratch the glass.
