Key points for identifying chalcedony:

Key points for identifying white chalcedony:

1. Look at the color

See if the color is pure, rich and uniform. And use a spotlight to observe whether there are any hidden colors.

2. Viewer type

Jade cannot be made into a useful object without being carved. Each piece of jade has its own shape. When choosing, you should pay attention to whether its shape is similar, whether it is complete, and whether it has artistic taste. The better the jade material, the finer the shape and the higher the value. Some jade pieces have defects and cracks, some due to raw material factors, and some due to damage caused by human collision.

3. Identify patterns

When people wear jade ornaments, they pay great attention to the patterns. Because patterns all have specific meanings, whether it be auspiciousness, warding off evil, blessing, celebrating birthday, elegant literary atmosphere, great wealth and honor, or small and exquisite, all should be clearly expressed.

4. Explore the workmanship

The industry calls it "work". "Gong" refers to the carving technique. When choosing jade, "craftsmanship" is very important. "Good craftsmanship" means that the carving skills have reached the level of perfection and the artistic ingenuity can be well expressed in the works. The images of figures and animals are lifelike, and the lines are smooth; if the workmanship is poor and the patterns and shapes are unsatisfactory, it is not desirable.

The beauty of white chalcedony lies in its whiteness and smoothness, not its translucency. If it were white, it would not be transparent, and if it were translucent, it would not be white. Do not measure it by the standards of jadeite.
