▎The Rich Color World of Jade
Natural jade Besides green, there are many other fascinating colors, including purple (violet), red (red jade), yellow (yellow jade), white, and black.
Jadeite Origin
Jadeite typically forms in metamorphic environments under low temperature and high pressure.
Its main production area is concentrated in Myanmar, with other production areas including Guatemala, Russia, and the United States.
The production process involves mining at the source, cutting the raw stone, processing it, and then sending it to the market for sale.
Precious gemstones take a long time to form, and each piece of jewelry is a unique work of nature.
Distinguishing Natural Jadeite and Judging its Quality
How to distinguish natural jadeite:
Each gemstone exhibits specific Mohs hardness, specific gravity, and refractive index. The most accurate method of identification is through scientific instrument testing.
Preliminary testing can be performed using various conventional identification methods, such as magnified observation, specific gravity measurement, and touch to assess texture.
Common processing methods:
In order to improve the appearance, jade that has undergone optimization treatment has appeared on the market.
The most common treatment is infusion, which involves injecting filler material into the pores to improve gloss and transparency.
▎Evaluating the three aspects of jade
1. Color
2. Transparency
3. Texture
The warm, smooth texture, unique color, luster, and translucency are factors that make jade a prized gem.
